I'm Speaking In Some Incredible Spaces, And You're Invited to Join Me
I have lots of panels and presentations coming up, and it would be so great to see you there!
Hi Readers,
and I have been busy polishing up the edits of our book TALK TO YOUR BOYS, which will be out September 9th. I’m thrilled that the book is generating some buzz and that were already getting invitations to talk about it. My calendar is starting to fill with events, and I hope you can join me at one or more of them!
