"If you make decisions based on what other people want, or to prove somebody else wrong because they say that you're gonna fail then you're failing yourself, which is worse."

She talks to Cynthia about her unusual route into this audio industry, the challenges that women face in sales roles with male clients, and the challenges she faced raising her two daughters while traveling.
