Tammy has taught it in her popular workshops for the past fifteen years. And she’s been living it for decades . . . as a college student just out on her own . . . as a young wife inviting another family to share a tiny apartment . . . as the stay-at-home mom with four small children hosting dinner parties for the movers and shakers of the world . . . as a single mom with four teens and a full-time career as an author and speaker…and as an almost-empty-nester adjusting to a new home and a brand-new life Tammy gets what it means to relate to people just where they are.
