Summary

Devynne Foote is business woman badass....and she's done it all while being a single mother.

We go deep in this conversation. We go where no human feels exactly comfortable going...like feeling desperate for love and a family dynamic, motherly worries, death of a loved one, fearing how you're going to feed yourself and your kids, and utilizing what government resources are available to you.

Devynne talks about working 24/7, and the endless hustle she found herself in to get her and her child ahead in life, to ultimately taking a step back and allowing some time for rest and replenishment

We talk risk taking, motherhood, friendship, and the power of family and community.

This one--it's good.
