We were fortunate to catch up with some brilliant artists, creatives and entrepreneurs from throughout the Houston area and they share the wisdom with us below.

Ashlyn Colette | Sound Bath Therapy Practitioner

It was really on accident. Sometimes I feel like there is an invisible path that we are simply blindly following.

Seeing these small victories day by day eventually add up to the big major victories is why we do what we do. Read more>>
