And the Oh, Friends this bonus episode is really kicking off a bit of a self-improvement

September, self-help September, Self-Care September.

I mean, not officially or anything, but as it turns out,

I have several guests coming at you in a September with books and tips and thoughts on just

making these little changes in our life that can make a huge difference from small things like cleaning out your closet to big things

like finding your voice and that is what you're going to hear Andrea Owen and I talk about today.

Finding Your Voice Making Some Noise.

I read Andrea Owen's new book, Make Some Noise, and her back. And her backstory

backstory, which she's going to share on this episode was so interesting.

And I knew that what she was saying was a message that I needed to hear and maybe something that you needed to hear also.

So I'm super glad to welcome author and speaker Andrea Owen to the podcast. You can find out more about Andrea at

Andrea Owen.com spelled just how you think it would be. She's also on

Instagram as Hey Andrea Owen,

and then her new book, Make Some Noise,

Speak your mind and own your strength

is out now wherever books are sold.

I hope you enjoy our conversation and have a great holiday weekend.

Andrea, welcome to 10 things to tell you. I am so excited to be here. I already know that I like you because we've been chatting beforehand so I am ready to meet your audience.

Well I already know that I like you because I read your book and then I immediately went and bought your second book, your previous book, right away, like as soon as I finished, and that's like the biggest testament that I can give that I enjoyed something if I went and buy their backlist.

Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Well, I do want to talk to you about your new book that came out this week. It's called Make Some Noise. It's your third book, but for my audience who might not be familiar with you yet,

can you just give a little bit of introduction

to yourself and like who you are
