How do you craft a soul, a mindset, and habits that lead to purpose and joy? Amy Tangerine, fashion designer, scrapbooker, author, and craft extraordinaire has sold her designs in Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus, traveled the world to teach the art of scrapbook making, and collaborated with craft empires like American Crafts – but she’s always looking for that next creative opportunity that deserves a big “yes!” She sheds her advice on how to know your worth when you set your price, how to launch a new product, and how to give yourself permission to explore the next great chapter of your life.
