Book recommendations:

But You're Still So Young: basically about how 30 somethings are redefining expectations and what we want out of life

You are a Badass - A super light, but motivating read to help remind you that goals can be reached, even if you dream big! 

Year of Yes - We value and hold our time so tightly, especially as entrepreneurs, that it is easy to let opportunities slip by.  This was a great book to see the other side to that - what if we do say yes to everything that comes our way - especially those things that we don't want to or like to do?  What do those possibilities lead to? 

The Power of Habit - Not a new read, but still something that I come back to every once in a while.  What prewired habits are lending to certain things in my business (or life)?  How is this helpful, or how do I change them?  This book continues to be a catalyst to think about those strategies. 


This was a great podcast. I personally got to learn a lot about how to overcome challenges when you're launching a very unique product. Highly recommend!
