Welcome back to Smart Girl Summer! Today, we’re spotlighting one of the most inspiring women I know—Anna Graham, founder of Homzie Designs and a powerhouse coaching client of mine.
Anna’s not just building a brand—she’s designing a movement. In this episode, we’re sharing her journey from idea spark to booming business, breaking down what it’s really like working with a coach, and revealing social media strategies that are changing the game.
In this episode, we’re lifting the lid on what it really takes to build from scratch in the design world, the power of personalized coaching, and the social media moves that are actually working in today’s noisy online space. You’ll hear straight from Anna how she made the leap, the lessons she’s learned, and the magic moments that keep her going.
And yes, we’ve got stories. Including a behind-the-scenes peek at one of our coaching trips to Disney World, where strategy meets sparkle, and laughter isn’t optional. Think business breakthroughs with churros in hand.
