Guest Bio:
Taylor Gilliatt is a freelance writer, blogger, poet, traveler, and storyteller.  She is also a lover of inspiration-based messages and personal development. Taylor has spent the better half of her twenties trying to realign to her intuition and carve out her own path in a way that feels fulfilling, which means getting comfortable with the unknown, trusting in the unseen, and diving into the unfamiliar.

Graduating from The University of Massachusetts Amherst with a BBA, Taylor felt compelled to use her degree, get a corporate job, and start climbing the ladder. But when the pandemic hit, none of that spoke to her anymore.

Taylor spent time living in Europe (Czech Republic & Italy), volunteering abroad in Asia (Nepal), and traveling in Africa and the Middle East. She lived most of her life in the Boston area, but also spent a decent chunk of time living on Mountain Time in Salt Lake City, Utah.

She published a poetry book called Within in September 2021 and has written for and maintained her own personal storytelling blog since October 2020.
