Peggy Bodde | author | leader | founder of Sacred Work

In 2014, I left corporate as a senior vice president and pivoted careers to start a freelance writing business, but I knew God didn’t want me to waste the 20+ years of business experience he’d blessed me with.

All three of those items lack for the vast majority of men. Read more>>

Catrina Clark | Coach Catrina – Your Mind Coach
