I'm Jess Collins, The Feral Writer, Soulful Marketer and Creatress of Empress, the membership community for authentic marketing.
We are all taught to follow the same route, one of high growth and fast pace. But what if you want to take a different path? One which is slower, more mindful, more authentic.
