We love to talk about resilience, about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and figuring it out.

The book is titled Audacity. And hereโs why:
We talk about audacity like itโs a personality trait.
Becoming a CEO before I'd ever held an executive role.
Adopting a child with special needs and trusting our family would grow stronger because of it.
Sharing my story of homelessness when I could have kept it hidden.
Shame is what you carry when you accept the identity someone handed you.
Audacity is what happens when you hand it back.
Statistics say I could have become a lot of things.
Homeless. Stuck in unstable housing.
Defined by the circumstances I was born into.
