Eps 63: Embrace Your Weirdness – Guest Maisie Smith

Today my guest is Maisie Smith of Audacious Muse. Maisie is a storyteller who learned that her own unique brand of weird was not a weakness, but instead it was the key to her victory and freedom. Now she encourages her clients and contacts to “embrace their weird”. Enjoy this fun and encouraging episode today.
