Self Help/Personal Growth
This is such a depthful read by the one and only "The Holistic Psychologist". #ad
How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and ...
So refreshingly real. I very much appreciate Caroline Dooner’s writing style and sense of humor. Her wrestle with diet/food while navigating a life in performing musical theatre is so relevant in today’s times. #ad
The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should Be Easy
Back with another Caroline Dooner rec! I’m a big fan of her writing style. I found myself laughing out loud AND tearing up—hearing her journey of how she did the musical theatre grind and is now finding a truly fulfilling life OUTSIDE of that was so ...
Tired as F*ck: Burnout from Diet & Hustle
I know they have rebranded away from the “budget” word to “spendfulness”, but having worked at YNAB for over 4 years (and used the app for over 10!), I still think the OG book carries a brilliant message. This will always have a spot on my bookshelf....

Reading this for work, and let me tell you…I think everyone can find something about their team reflected here. Lots of good food for thought. 😅 #ad
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: Leadership Fable
As an overcommunicator, this has greatly challenged my approach at work. It’s all about working smarter, not harder, by writing for your audience and their attention span. EASY read (proof that their method works😅), great info that you can use daily...
Smart Brevity: Power of Saying More with Less
I'm usually not a fan of the “assessment/personality test” corporate stuff, but I found value in this. I recommend buying the assessment as well, as knowing WHICH Working Genius you are is very illuminating as you read about the different types. I'm ...
The 6 Types of Working Genius: Understand Your Team
If you in any way work in support, customer success, or any client-facing role, this is a must read. #ad

In the world of multi-tasking (of which I am very guilty), this read is very refreshing! #ad
Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success
Music/Performance
This book changed my life. Cliché? Sure. True? 1000%. I read this during my formative high school/college years when I was strongly debating trying for this life full time. This BEAUTIFUL and RAW look at the reality of a life as a performer was exact...

This came HIGHLY recommended by many fellow musicians/performers/creators! So glad I finally bought it. #ad
