Elizabeth I don’t know how you know exactly what I need to hear, but this episode really resonated with me. I was a photographer with a wonderful business and I ended up hating due to of burn out. I’ve been a quilter since college, but I am now wanting to pursue a career around it. It was refreshing to hear how Emily had burned out with her photography, but has loved her quilting career. Emily gave words to something I have been battling for a long time-not feeling worthy of making money. Thank you for your wonderful episodes.
