What if you’re not lost, you’re just meant to roam? This week, I’m joined by my vivacious friend, fashion & travel writer and digital nomad Tess Pollard , who’s built a career across 117 countries, no office required. Tess didn’t go freelance to become a #girlboss; she did it because the idea of four weeks’ holiday a year was holding her back from her true calling. We get into what it really m...

March didn’t choose chronic illness, but she did choose how to respond...
