HCTS #011 Lexy L

On this episode my guest is Lexy L who is a dog trainer, a mushroom hunter, and a makeup artist! Lexy talks about growing up in Ukraine and learning to forage for her own food, what people get wrong about training their pets, what she thinks is the most important thing for anyone in finding their way, and her advice for each generation. ***** The series of questions asked to each guest has now solidified. There may be the occasional slight difference, but otherwise regular listeners will know what to expect. *****
