Hello, hey girl podcast listeners, what's up? How are you? I am excited. First of all, it's

October. My favorite time of year is the fall, So I am like stoked that it's getting cooler in Maryland

and that the leaves are changing and falling. I'm just like here for it in its entirety.

And my new book comes out in 12 days and I literally cannot wait. I am so excited for y'all to get this collection in your hands and if you have not been keeping up with what's been going on on Instagram.

I've been doing lessons learned IG lives with some of my favorite people. I've sat down so far with

Yasmin Cheyenne, Lisa Aloe vera, tomorrow I'll be sitting down with Nedro Tawab and I also chatted with Josephina Sanders and it has been such an amazing

awesome experience to talk to people who got advanced copies of the book, whose opinions I hold closely, whose work I admire and have them celebrate this book with me and also ask me some really hard questions about the lessons I've learned and be in conversation with me about their favorite lessons in the book.

So if you have not checked those out already you can do so on my Instagram I. G TV section and I'll also

link the specific talks in this episode's notes. So the reason why I'm popping in here all random and not on a

Sunday is because my virtual book event is happening on October 14th at 6 p.m. Eastern time and words really cannot describe

how excited I am. I have no words lately you know I'm just really feeling good and

confident and happy and excited about this work. So I am sitting down with Naka Julia. I'm sure you all

know that phenomenal woman and she is going to be the moderator for the virtual book launch event.

We're going to have our wine, we're going to be hanging, talking,

we're going to be in meditation together. We're going to be in meditation together.

We're going to be asking some journal questions.

And we're also going to be talking about the lessons we've learned.

What healing has exposed to us on our journeys and how we can greet the adversity of our life with

compassion and grace and love even when it's hard.

So I am ready for that fun night.

It's on a really beautiful platform

and you'll see that link in the notes as well.
