In this interview, I’m on the line with the one, the only, Serena Appiah, the owner, publisher, and carpenter-in-training behind Thrift Diving, a blog and YouTube channel that inspires people to decorate, improve, and maintain their home with paint, power tools, and thrift stores.  As a mom of three boys, ages 13, 9, and 7, Serena has outfitted her home with many thrift store treasures--not only because it's economical and fun, but because raising three boys means things will get dirty (or broken!).  Serena left her job back in 2015 and since then has grown by leaps and bounds. It’s been exciting to just watch from the sidelines and see all the stuff she has accomplished, the brands she is working with and the business she has built.  I know there are some awesome things we can learn from her.

Then we take the next logical step - we start working towards our goals.  But here’s the thing - oftentimes, that’s where we stop.
