The Best Trip I Took This Year Wasn’t A Trip
My favorite memory of 2017 is probably from one 12-hour stretch in July. The trip that wasn’t a trip, and a day I gave to myself.
I'm Karin, creator of 2 Favorite Parts.
I use my words and help others use their words ... which means I help business owners tell their stories to be more effective.
Story is everything -- the stories we tell ourselves and the stories we tell others. They matter, whether it’s because of the importance of having the right mindset or because of the importance of building relatability in your business. Or rather, the combination of both.
The name 2 Favorite Parts emerged from an exercise in gratitude that's become a type of mantra for me, and I hope you come along!
