She founded the company in early 2014 after realizing that she could no longer live life trapped in a box. She couldn’t stand by knowing that her fate was wrapped up in someone else’s decisions. Instead of conforming to societal norms, she took a chance. She went against the odds to embark on a journey that has given her clarity and purpose. In fact, her whole life’s mission has been to defy the status quo and to create life on her own terms. But, for a while, Amber felt herself slipping into a “normal” and “comfortable” life. And, she got freaked out. Now, she's doing exactly what she's meant to be doing. She is coaching women to live an awesome life without having to to report to anyone or justify their actions.

Talin is a busy girl with lots of interests and hobbies, but she always makes time  to stop and smell the roses. She is a young filmmaker, visual artist, dancer, foodie, and lover of fashion. When she isn't working her 9-5 in advertising, she is teaching Zumba®, conducting a photo shoot, sipping on coffee, scrolling through fashion blogs, or searching for inspiration. For a long time, she felt the need to have a place where she could organize and share her daily thoughts and diverse interests. After lots of thinking and many coffee date discussions later, she realized her life does in fact have “a theme,” among all of my scattered interests. One thing that has always been important to Talin is living in the present and learning how to savor moments, among all the chaos. And so became the birth of “The Half Full Mug,” a blog centered around the idea of living a cozy life, seeing things as “half full” (as opposed to half empty), and learning how to savor moments. We had a great time chatting with Talin about he

We are so happy this community enjoys hearing us talk about things that often get discussed at a coffee shop, the things you tell your girlfriends. Today we are sipping coffee and talking about the idea of embracing being an amateur. Embracing the idea that you are not an expert at something, but you are still going to pursue it a will get better and learn over time.  This is the approach we took with launching She Percolates and it has worked well for us. I reference Lara McCulloch's episode, we talk about Danielle's amazing Etsy Course, and we reference this Zig Ziglar quote, "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."
