Everyday Manifestation—Leadership, Learning, and Journaling
I recently listened to Mel Robbins’ podcast featuring Dr. James Doty—#1 Neurosurgeon: How to Manifest Anything You Want & Unlock the Unlimited Power of Your Mind—and it changed the way I think about manifestation. Dr. Doty also champions the idea that we are each a universe. I couldn’t agree with him more—and I write about this in my book as well.

Self-Awareness and Personal Development
We often think of leadership as a title or a position, something reserved for those who manage teams or run organizations. But what if I told you that leadership starts with you, right where you are? Yes, even if you're not officially designated as a leader (yet). The truth is that anyone can be a leader by taking charge of their own personal development and self-awareness, as covered in the book Everybody, Be Cool!
