WHERE TO FIND Tamara ONLINE:
EPISODE SUMMARY:
- Tamara shares her story of consciously building her family through a combination of birth and adoption.
- What I found truly interesting about Tamara was how she says she consciously built her family but she also lives her life and business the same way. Not only is Tamara a photographer, but she also owns a coffee shop in North Carolina. She talks the inspiration behind all of that.
- The photography and coffee shop businesses were meant to simply bring people together. Tamara tells us how her inspiration for both was truly about building community.
“I truly believe that we are all on this planet to care for each other.” – Tamara Lackey
- She’s a wife, mother, and runs TWO businesses! How does she do it and deal with the negative beliefs we can sometimes carry? Tamara says life is too short and it’s crazy to walk through this life and not give it our all.
“Nothing that we do that is hard is fearless!” – Tamara Lackey
- Tamara and I talk about work-life balance and how she stays present where she’s at on a daily basis.
“That’s the idea of balance. You can have everything set up and still screw up!” – Tamara Lackey
- Only do the work that you love. Tamara is a strong believer in focusing on what you love and when we do that, it only amplifies the work to be better!
“If it’s not hell yeah, it’s hell no!” – Derek Sivers (Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur)
