Excited to announce that my new book is out on December 6! Unarmored is an unfiltered book about compassion, permission, and learning to soul-fully lead ourselves and all parts of us as we navigate life and work.

Early readers have described it as “filled with truth, tenderness, and tenacity” (Diane Bleck) and “this book makes me feel reassuringly human.” (Dr. Mandy Lehto)

Imagine trusting yourself deep into the core of your bones and in every cell in your body. Not your perfect performative plastic self, but your wild, messy, human self – your authentic self? What would it take for you to trust yourself, to BE yourself, to genuinely befriend all of yourself? Imagine the quiet and clear confidence of just being at home in all of you. Undoing the conditioning of the outside world and making a commitment to authenticity can be a wobbly journey.  Vulnerable? Yes. Will it require a few metric tons of self-compassion? Yes. As an adult, will you need to learn a few emotional agility skills and nervous system regulation skills? Yes. Worth it? All the yesses ever. 

If you want to be at home in yourself truly, you have to be willing to meet all parts of you – especially the parts we’ve exiled and vilified and shamed- the parts that make us most uncomfortable. The way to relieve the suffering is to actually turn toward these parts instead of trying to eradicate them (an impossible task).  Meeting and befriending all parts of yourself is the first step to trusting yourself so that you can genuinely BE yourself– it takes more than desire. This sacred path requires us to cultivate connection, calm, and compassion. It requires curiosity to activate the clarity and courage you seek. Unarmored, Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human, is a different kind of leadership book – a book of SELF-leadership – not quite a road map – but certainly a delicious set of ingredients and tools that will equip and fuel you if you want to live a more Soul-full and glorious human experience.
