If you’re in driving distance of the Central Coast, join me for one or both of these lively in-person workshops!

It’s ridiculously cheap ($8??? Thank you Central Coast Council! 🙏🏻)

Let me know if I will see you there!

Fabulous story and fabulous episode. I love listening to the stories being brought to life, and I love learning so much, and most of all, I love not being the one who is publicly torn apart 😂
But it was another cracking story. 👌👏
