Collectively, our team has a community focused passion, impressive accolades, we're mental health and self-care advocates with  a knack for jotting down positivity to help you discover a little joy. Each month we issue a new blog topic that is either close to the author's heart, commonly asked questions, or social (distancing) trends. So, with that said - you don't have to hold your breath anymore - We are honored to formally (and finally!) welcome you to the Green Shoe Blog.
