Life Lately: Building While Becoming
A funny thing happens when you stop waiting for life to settle down before you start creating. You realize it never was going to. The last few months have been busy, exciting, disappointing, inspiring, heartbreaking, motivating, exhausting…sometimes all before lunch. And strangely enough, that’s exactly where this book has been born. I’ve spent years learning, reading, going to therapy, journaling, lifting weights, making mistakes, rebuilding confidence, and trying to underst
