Summary

This month marks FIFTEEN years that I have been pursuing a career primarily by sharing myself on the internet. Starting with the Hollywood Housewife blog in January 2010, then building a social media presence, then becoming a podcaster and an author, and I have so many stories and thoughts to share about the last decade and a half. On this episode, I'm talking about the things I did right, the things I definitely got wrong, and how I've evolved right along with the World Wide Web. Join SECRET STUFF to hear even MORE behind-the-scenes stories. FULL SHOW NOTES HERE MORE episodes on this topic: Ep. 73: I Wrote a Book!

2:19.2	I started my blog, Hollywood Housewife, in January of 2010.
