I really enjoyed this podcast ladies. I’m excited to start working on my master plan for my best year yet! Thank you for all of your inspiration and advice!
Thanks SO much Kim! We agree Lela is awesome and so inspiring. IF you have a sec we’d love it if you could leave us a review for our podcast on iTunes. 🙂 🙂
This was a great podcast, thank you! I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t even know about Dear Handmade Life until I found this podcast through Lela’s Instagram post but I am so excited that I did! Also, thank you so much to Lela for providing us with the PDF download. Can’t wait to get to work on that!
SO glad you enjoyed it! Lela is the best!!! 🙂
Same, same, same, same and SAME! I’m also quite late to the party, but…better late than never? Here’s hoping! 🙂

I’m also a late bloomer when it comes to discovering new things and Dear Handmade Life is no exception. I’m binging on podcasts as I commute to my job job and this podcast in particular spoke to me. 🙂
Love, love, love everything that Lela Barker shared and her generous gift of giving DHL listeners access to the Master Plan for My Best Year Yet workbook is amazing. Thank you, Lela!
And, thank you, Nicole and Delilah! You provide a great service by sharing information with those of us starting this journey. Keep up the great work!
