What do I read?

The purpose of this section is to bring a highlight to some of the great books that have helped me in my personal progression. I'll be sharing my personal notes and findings, as well as what's next for me to read within my journey.

Most of these books will be found on Audible, as I'm in heavy preference of an audiobook format currently.

I also highly welcome any book recommendations - if you've found my list and notes interesting and have a tip on any other awesome book that might support my journey, ping me at [email protected]. ❤️
