Guest: Tara Scully-Power -  Fashion Entrepreneur and friend@ThreadX   Threadx.com.auEver felt like you’ve outgrown your friendship circle or you’re not sure where to find the women who really get you now? In this heart-to-heart, I’m joined by my dear friend Tara to share how we met at a retreat, built a cross-generational friendship, and became each other’s fiercest cheerleaders in life and business. We talk letting go of friendships that no longer fit, the magic of putting yourself in new rooms, why the “No F**ks Era” frees you from comparison, and how a single compliment can change a woman’s day.
