Friends, it is a very exciting week here on the homestead.

In fact, I have been waiting for this week and even this episode in particular for upwards

of two years.

And that is because this week is the week when my brand new book finally enters the world.

And if you've ever published before you've ever created something, you know that there's

a lot of feelings to come with the process of finally publishing, finally launching, finally

pushing all of your ideas and all your baby of creation out into the world.

So I'm feeling all the things definitely excited, very ready for everyone to finally get their

hands on this because it's been in my brain and in my computer and consuming all of my thoughts

for so long. It feels surreal that the rest of the world can finally read it.

As with anything we create, there's also that feeling of nervousness.

You know, I believe in the book. I love the book. I wanted to hit it smart.

I wanted to resonate with people. I want people to feel inspired. So all the feelings, all the

normal things that come when we put ourselves out there. But overall, it's excitement.

I've given you some glimpses over the past few months and weeks over the behind-the-scenes process

of writing the book. We'll drop those episodes down in the show notes so I don't want to reinvent

the wheel and hash all that over again. But needless to say, I'm really excited.

And today to celebrate the launch of the book this week, if you're listening to this episode

the day it comes out, then the book will be coming out tomorrow, Tuesday, September 26th, 2023.

If you're listening to this episode later that week or beyond, then the book is out and it is in

stores. So I want to celebrate that by reading the introduction today. Live and in the flesh.

So I had the privilege of being able to read the audio version of the book, which was super fun.
