In today’s episode, I thought I’d share a few of the books that I’ve read and revisited over the past few months! One of my absolute favourite genres is self help and personal development and there are a copious amount of titles within that area that have had a tremendous influence over the path I’ve gone down both professionally and personally. 

An author whose catalogue of books I dive into today is Jon Gordan. His books have resonated with me so much and have had an effect throughout each stage of my life, making them so important for me to revisit as the years go on. There are always lessons that can be learned when re-examining the things that hold meaning to us and doing so can give us new perspectives that we didn’t have at the time. 

I also discuss why I love audiobooks so much and how they have helped me integrate reading into different aspects of my daily practices, making them a more versatile and adaptable experience. Particularly as someone with a sometimes overwhelming schedule, they have been an absolute treat for me and my family.
