I loved this convo so much that I had to bring it directly to you. (It started on Jadah Sellner's Lead with Love podcast, just like our last episode!) In this one, we bottle Jadah's pre-launch feels in the weeks before her best-selling book She Builds officially launched into bookstores, homes, and earbuds.

It's time we talk profitable priorities. (*Profitable prios* for obnoxiously short. Check your local GIF library for stickers.) ...

Once upon a time (at the start of summer 2021) I launched season four: BOOK MODE with the intention of tracking my journey to self-publishing. Then my friends came to town and shook that ish up. In this episode I’ll share why we’ve had a CHANGE IN PLANS over here, why it feels a bit scary to admit that out loud and in published form, AND what that means for coming episodes.
