Welcome back you guys to Katie Wonders. My name is Katie Dillbao. I am your host and it is my birthday.

So in honor of my birthday, on today's episode, I am taking your questions that I asked you guys in our amazing Facebook crew, which is the

Facebook group that is so awesome at building community and making this a two-way conversation

between you and I and you guys with each other, not just me talking to my microphone and a

blank computer screen like I'm doing right now.

The community and the Facebook crew is where it happens.

So a couple weeks ago, I asked if you guys had any questions for me at all, since usually

I'm not the one in the hot seat.

Usually there is a guest there, and I'm just guiding the conversation, curating the guests.

And so you don't really get to know me that much.

You have in the last several months that I've started this mini-series, Katie Wonders, when I've

been sharing my favorites for the month and through the stuff that I share all over the place.

I feel like I'm emoting all over the internet through my writing and other things. I'm sure you guys

know me, but I thought this would be

a great way for us to get to know each other even a little bit better. So for every question that I'm

answering of yours, you guys should go in the Facebook crew, link in the show notes, and answer some

of those questions yourself. So let's get right into it. The only thing I want to plug before I start answering questions

is my book. If you haven't checked it out, I wrote a book this year. It just came out last month.

Last month, it's crazy that it's already May. The book has already been out for about a month.

It came out April 5th. And since then then I've been really letting go of the book

and letting it be everyone else's experience and it's been so cool to see people's reactions

with the book and how they're using it and I'm really proud of this thing that I created.
