This episode is a special one—and honestly, kind of surreal. I never thought I’d say this, but... I’m officially a published children’s book author! Yep, not another course or curriculum (though you know I love those too)—this time, it’s a <em>passion project</em> turned real-life impact. Today, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how this book series came to life, why it matters, and what it taught me about following alignment over ROI.</p><p><br></p><p>Topics Covered:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>The origin story of our self-published children's book series and the gap it fills in the pediatric feeding and myo space</li><li>Why creating from passion (even if it’s not profitable right away) can lead to deep alignment and unexpected impact</li><li>How stepping into new identities—like <em>author</em>—can expand your brand and your reach</li><li>A pep talk for anyone sitting on a “not-quite-on-brand” idea that might actually be <em>the thing</em></li><li>The reminder that you're not <em>just</em> your title—you’re a creator, and your voice matters</li></ul><p><br></p><p>So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to make that bold move, this is it.
