Letter To My Younger Self
This week, I kick off the return of the podcast with a Letter to my Younger Self. I’m telling her 5 things to remember as this journey of life flows. The lessons that she would have wanted to know early, and not just from trial by fire. And to do so, I have to tap in to that kid I was because the message in the book is one she needed to hear, and one I still need to hear sometimes now.

Teach Them Young
Teens today deserve to know what we didn’t get a chance to. In this episode (and in my upcoming book RISING TROUBLEMAKER), I want to loan teens courage and share the cheat codes and lessons I wish I had learned as a teen, as well as some lessons I’m still learning.
