I’m a tough love self-help writer — and now, children’s book author! And I’m here to help you redefine your version of happiness.
I’ll share my mistakes and messy parts of life to help you feel less alone.
Today’s world is full of highlight reels and coaches who tell us how to feel — but not how to realistically get there.
Instead, let’s embrace our pitfalls and dig in to work hard. The most vulnerable parts of my life have defined me and then propelled me to my highest peaks.
Along the way, let’s talk about diversity and self-love, and join me in teaching inclusion to our younger generations.
Stick around and laugh at me.
Wince at me. Relate to me. And, hopefully, learn from me.
