With over 15 years in TV, film, print, and personal styling, Molly's charming down-to-earth approach and ability to dress all body types, set her apart. Today I’m chatting with Molly Rebuschatis.

AND book giveaway! Head to @momswhocreatepodcast on Instagram to enter to win Author Your Ambition by M.K. Williams.Today's episode is packed with so many resources for you all. And I love it so much. M.K. Williams had one simple goal: she needed more time to write her own books. After self-publishing two novels, she found herself spending more and more time answering questions from aspiring authors than working on her next manuscript. Out of necessity, Author Your Ambition was born. Through a series of videos, books, and courses, M.K. now helps more authors than she could have imagined (and she even has some time to write her own books as well.) Since 2015 she has written and self-published her own collection of books and helped countless authors on their independent publishing journey, all while raising her daughter.Connect with MK at the links below:https://1mkwilliams.com/https://twitter.com/1mkwilliamshttps://www.instagram.com/1mkwilliams/https://www.facebook.com/1mkwilliamshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjvBO4kjuBSYe6Bi3RYQAQAGet the MOMS WHO CREATE JOURNAL: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNH2WH8J?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_58ZRYVG6G1FE6ZMDKRADSupport the showSupport the showFollow Moms Who Create:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/momswhocreatepodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/momswhocreatepodcastMonthly Meeting Book Club - https://www.facebook.com/groups/momswhocreatebookclubWebsite - https://www.momswhocreate.com/
