Episode Details

Today we're talking about the importance of intentional holiday spending, particularly focusing on supporting small businesses over large retailers.

We discuss the benefits of local shopping (that I bet you haven't thought of), the challenges that can arise when dealing with small businesses, and her own not-so-good personal experiences.
