HELLLLO YOU WILD LADY!

Joining me today is my good friend and fellow wild woman, Kelly Lawson. Several years ago, Kelly walked away from the career she has built up for 11 years. After 7 years of university, two science degrees, and practicing Occupational Therapy for 4 years, she realized it just wasn’t her calling and needed a change.

She decided to pick up a camera on eBay and follow her heart. That same year she married the man of her dreams who reminds her daily that life is too short to not do what you love. Fast forward one decade and not only has she built a business at Kelly Lawson, she has also built a family. Her work has been published in numerous magazines and she has diversified her strong entrepreneurial spirit to online courses, affiliate marketing, and podcasting.
