Find Your Flow: Creating a Business That Works For Your Family with Shannon Smith - a podcast by Lisa DiGeso, The Milky Way

Running a business looks different for everyone. And when you’re a business owner and mother, you have to get creative to balance work and life. However you find your flow, what matters most is that you let your passion–for your work and your family–drive your creativity.

In this episode, I chat with mother of two and family photographer Shannon Smith about how she creates flow to integrate her work and life.
