Description
Content Encoded

Jodi Swartz and I are in a meditation group together, a group made up of people who work in the construction industry.

This episode was inspired by Jodi's blog post entitled "We Need to Talk: The Hard Truth". I've copied the full text into my episode enhancement, you can also read it here

about our guest:

Jodi Schwartz is the founder and principal designer at Kitchen Visions in Sudbury MA. Jodi marries her design talents with a desire to create more liveable, inspirational homes for her clients. Every project is unique because each family has its own particular nuances and needs.

She followed her creative dream and went on to work at two large design-build showrooms. At the urging of happy clients, she founded KitchenVisions in 2011. While Jodi loves creating beautiful interior spaces, her proudest accomplishments are her two daughters, Dana and Nicole, and her son-in-law, Dan, who live further away than she would prefer...
