To end the year, I sat down and spoke with Kathy Lawless about the creation of salleejay.com and the path to starting my blog. It was a great way for me to revisit and reflect on my personal and professional journey to my version of freedom and happiness.
Listen to my career reflections as I unveil parts of my journey with themes in music, writing and community.
