When Linda Joy invited me to become an advisory board member of Aspire Magazine, I got goose bumps. Linda is all about delivering inspiration to women–a mission I could get behind.
Two plus years later, my community has grown significantly, partly through knowing Linda and being part of all that is Aspire magazine [...]
