Thoughts on My First Book Release!
The day has finally come: my very first book is on sale on Amazon as of this morning. If I am being honest with myself, this feels rather anticlimactic. The journey of writing a book has been such a rollercoaster with emotional highs and lows–but also incredibly tedious. I have a new-found respect for those who take on the challenge of self-publishing because there is so much that goes on behind the scenes.
But here she is. Clear as day. Out in the world for all to see (stomach starts turning). While I have no idea what exactly will come next I have this great big audacious goal of helping 5,000 people reclaim the joy of movement that pain once stole, through this book.
The Self-Care Practice You Neglect Most Might be the Most Important
One of the magical things that happens when you get a chance to start spending time with inspiring, trailblazing women, is that you start to realize that they are burdened by the same fears, insecurities and self-doubt as the rest of us. It is very easy to feel like there’s this great divide between people who are capable of doing amazing things and people who are not.
What I am realizing more and more is that EVERYONE who wants to can do amazing things. The difference is having the courage to do them even when everything inside is screaming “NOT YOU!!!!!” THIS ISN’T FOR YOU!!!” Oh, my dear, but it is.
