Welcome to our last episode for two weeks, with today's guest @thrivingonplants aka Cherie Tu. Renee has known Cherie for years and even remembers Cherie asking her for advice on what to charge, back in the day.
Now she’s grown nearly 400k followers and she talks about:
- how the ‘growing’ has become harder since she first started
- She also talks really openly about what she charges
- And why we all need to be having these conversations more regularly
Certainly part of the reason we started this show, Cherie.

CC Monthly - October (yes, we know it's November)
Hey friends, SURPRISE, this week we are just doing the CC monthly episode for October - weird cause it’s out in November, we know, but we actually recorded it a week ago.
You will notice that James makes a prediction in this episode about something in the social media space and it has since come true. He was genuinely just speculating but he NAILED IT!
It’s actually spooky.
This is totally not him writing this, bigging himself up.......
