find the stories we were to afraid
to speak.”

Journaling and Blogging

Self-publishing my journals was a way to share part of the process of my self-care and part of the process of how I’ve been able to accomplish so much in the last 5 years. Never did I think that I would be featured in a national article of The Best Women and Business Books to Read in 2025. This goes to show you that anything is possible. You don’t need to be the most popular; you just need consistency and a great work ethic.
