Answering Your Bold Questions 🌶️ (Nothing Off Limits) *very vulnerable* Q&A

You asked some bold questions about everything from why I didn’t prosecute my biological father for SA, to how I support myself after leaving corporate life, advice for starting a YouTube channel, what are my income sources and how to I support myself, and what slow living actually looks like while running a business. I’m also talking about solitude, aging alone, starting over, building The Story Post, and the parts of my life that don’t always make it into the vlogs. Nothing is perfectly polished here. I’m answering from my own experience. So, grab your coffee, and let’s get into it. #slowliving #SA #mailclub 👉 Blog post with links to items in video: https://www.amberjbaldwin.com/answeri... 📮 Join The Story Post – a monthly snail mail letter for a slower life https://www.amberjbaldwin.com/joinsto... ☕ Join The Table – an intentional membership space for thoughtful conversation, extra content, live streams and more https://www.amberjbaldwin.com/jointhe... 💌 Get an email when something new is posted https://www.amberjbaldwin.com/connect 👉 Amazon Store: https://a.co/d/09Q9yQSV __________ Chapters: 00:00 What's in this video and Georgie 00:57 What's your back story?
