It's our FINAL podcast episode for #FearLess! This episode starts off with some housekeeping about how the Virtual Book Club will continue on instagram, and then we get right into author Michelle B. Vazquez's chapter Fear Will Not Steal My Thunder! In it, Michelle shares her process of the self-analysis she went through to get from a place of self-doubt and fear to self-acceptance and "turning down the volume" of thoughts that do not serve her, which sparked Kristen and Bex's conversation about other people's perceptions versus our own, and which observations that come from ourselves and others are worth listening to versus which ones are better to be left behind. 

A few ways to send Michelle some online accolades are as follows:

1) Contact her to see if she could sign and send a copy of the book to you or someone you love. Michelle lives in Texas, USA.

2) Check out her instagram: @Perfectly_crafted_me

3) Reach out on Facebook: @perfectlycraftedme

And while you're at it, give us a follow and join in the conversation with our Virtual Book Club on instagram --> @ktrjminipod  This book doesn't have to be read in order so go ahead and jump around the book as you see fit and comment on any @ktrjminipod insta posts, both current or past! We'd love to hear from you!
