“If my website had everything that a client needs to know about the work… If I answered those common questions that I typically get asked in that phone consultation… now, I’ve just saved money, because I've saved myself 20 to 30 minutes, right?” - Tralana Eugene
“Working from home can be great but, sometimes it's actually nice to have to work outside of home. So, I'm thinking about self care boundaries... things like that.” - Tralana Eugene
