We are thrilled to bring our personal friend and community powerhouse, Vanessa Seltzer, on the show today. This episode is fun and giddy and comforting like a warm blanket as Vanessa shares about the loves in her life – her family and her avocation in the non-profit sector. Her pearls of wisdom feel familiar and yet as if we are hearing them for the first time. She relishes in the purity of happiness and it is contagious. Enjoy!
