I WROTE A BOOK!!! 📘💫

For the past two years, I’ve been working on what has honestly been the hardest, most personal, and most important project of my life. It’s called START WITH YOURSELF: A new vision for work and life.

It’s a no-BS guide for anyone who wants to create meaningful success on their own terms.

I wanted to talk honestly about what it really takes to build something from the ground up and share what I’ve learned about leadership, money, leveling up your career while having a family and work/life balance too obvs!!

Nothing happens overnight, but it’s my belief that you absolutely can engineer your life to match your wildest dreams. That’s what START WITH YOURSELF is all about. It’s my philosophy, a mindset shift and most importantly it’s a guide for anyone ready to make the most of who they are. Because everything Starts with Yourself ✨💛
