Hello everyone and welcome to Happiness Salt! Happy Friday! Yes, we made it through another week, so I am going to be speaking with just a beautiful bright young woman today. Her name is Severine D'Rosier, and I did have to practice that a few times before I said it, because she's Haitian French, and I would have butchered it completely, so I actually had to write it down phonetically so that I would say it correctly.

0:54.7

So Severine is a finance employee, she goes to the University in London, and she's the author of the nonfiction book The Path to Resilience.

1:03.7

It's been recently published and get it out on Amazon.com. So Severine loves traveling around the world and aspires to be the real life doora, the explorer, once the world opens up again, which is very, very cute. Don't we all? Don't we all? Well, I hope you enjoy the interview.

1:20.7

But it was good. It was a good experience overall.

2:11.7

2:18.7

2:36.7

So that I liked that structure because I had tried an online class before never finished.

2:43.7
