I’m in my 30s. I work full time from home. I have a 2 year old son that keeps me very active. I live in yoga pants/work out attire because a) I’m in public less than a couple of hours per day so getting “dressed” feels like a chore and b) I’m a hands on…
I’m starting an internship and I’m really excited about it! But first, I have a 10 day orientation in North Carolina.
