Having launched more times than I care to count, I've learned a lot about what works, what doesn't, what feels good and what isn't for me... and this episode is sharing the latest lessons from my recent launch.

Alongside learning from my lessons, I hope this episode leaves you with a permission slip to launch in a way that works for you - both in the results it gets and in the way it feels.
