Meet Alison Dodge, Karen's business coach! Alison is a serial entrepreneur with an immense amount of knowledge on how to both start a business and run a business for it to work for YOU. I wouldn't be where I am today with Grasshopper Goods if I didn't have Alison coaching me along the way. There was so much great information shared in the interview, so much so, that we divided the interview into two parts. We hope you enjoy Part 1 of Alison's interview.

What does spring mean to you? Perhaps it means a time for reflection, a refresh, new beginnings, or the discovery of something new. It doesn't have to just be about purging your closet or reorganizing your kitchen (although those are awesome things to accomplish too!).

In this podcast, Karen and Kelsey cover some of the ways they are adding to their lives this spring to help continue to build an aligned life. We hope you enjoy episode 2! Full of raw and real moments from a mother-daughter duo.
