029: Change Takes Changing
After some time off, Katherine & Cassi catch up with each other about what’s been going on and how they’ve changed in both their professional and personal lives. They take a deeper look at what they want to do, what they want to share and what’s really important in the end. “Change takes changing” comes from a beautiful piece by Brian Andreas (https://www.instagram.com/p/CY60Hy7LCUr/). “Change takes time, I said & she laughed. Time takes time, she said. Change only takes changing. But, she added, it can take time to get the hang of that.”
