The Start of It All
Arriving May 3rd, now available for preorder!
A twenty-something’s guide to empowerment, resilience, and authenticity at the dawn of adulthood.
This book is full of questions exploring self-growth, community, career, dreams, and more. Each question is paired with a story straight from my 20s.
Some of the stories include…
How I decided where to go to college
Why I hated my first job
How I dealt with painful breakups (romantic relationships AND friendships)
The time I had to fight against pay inequity as a temp receptionist
Letting go of big dreams (and finding new ones)
Figuring out which friend to call when my bathroom ceiling was damaged and I couldn’t use my shower
I hope that The Start of It All can serve as a companion as you navigate these twisty, wild years.
I hope this guide helps you hold onto yourself, as you grow, learn, and change.
I hope that my stories help you feel less alone, and teach you something about your capacity for growth — whether you’re 23, 29, or older.
Nothing about your 20s is straightforward. And neither is this book.
You can pick it up when you’re 20, and answer all 20 something questions, year after year. Or, just answer the ones that resonate.
You can pick it up in your mid 20s, and reflect from then on forward. You can go back, and reflect on your earlier years.
You can pick it up when you’re 18. I think that’s what my precocious younger self might have done.
OR you can do what I’m doing now - start at 29; the end of the 20s era.
