What do women’s cycles, floral workshops, and Frozen 2 have in common? They’re all topics of questions from this episode of the Zimmerman Podcast. We discussed the logistics and finances behind workshops, what happens when you have an unhappy bride who leaves a bad review, and ways to get stuff done on days you don’t feel motivated. Let’s get started!
Read MoreLast night my dad called me. During that conversation he asked, “What is something you’re proud of that you accomplished this year?”
Is he not the most incredible dad?! I told him I’m proud of prioritizing myself. I now wholeheartedly know that I’m best for myself, for others, for my business when I spend the first part of my day taking care of me. It centers me and I feel more peaceful.
Read MoreAs I dropped off Stella at school this morning she said, “Mommy, will you please come eat lunch with me today at school?”

In her book and in this interview, Sheri gracefully grapples with issues like honoring your body, knowing when it’s time to explore your own passions, and bravely embracing a wholehearted life. By the end of the episode, I was so moved by Sheri’s wisdom that I kind of lost my cool and sounded like a blubbering idiot. It really was a dream-come-true experience getting to talk to her.

We had just celebrated Stella’s first birthday a couple months before. I had just rebranded my business two weeks prior. I was feeling really good about the new year approaching and excited for 2015.
