The Day Before My QVC Audition

For anyone with a big dream. For anyone thinking of taking a leap. For anyone who's been told you can't/shouldn't/aren't ready. Please read and watch on.


Below is a video I filmed for my daughter the day before I got on a plane to QVC try to fulfill my biggest dream. I'd forgotten it was still stored on my computer after four years, until I discovered it a couple of days ago. Poor Gabby had been watching her mom nervously walk around the house pretend-presenting everything from toothpaste tubes to sofas in order to prepare for the final round of auditions. After 17 years of working in retail, and with minimal on-camera experience, her mom really wasn't supposed to have made it this far. What Gabby didn't know was that it was because of something she'd done ten years prior that mom was getting on that plane the next day.


Someday I'll write about the whole crazy story of how we got here. There's a lot of magic involved. But for now, I'll leave you with the most important lesson I learned out of the whole experience, taught to me by a 15-month old. It resonates with truth for me to this day. Thank you for sharing in it with me.
