Welcome to your Book Year Library!

I am just so thankful you are here. Why? Because you have taken a risk on your voice. You have said to yourself– this story matters, this self-expression matters, this creative process matters. It will be messy, it will be imperfect, it will be beautiful and hard and sometimes filled with resistance. I invite you to stay curious and compassionate to yourself through this season. On this page, you will find courses, workshops, written resources, and more. Enjoy!

Celebrating you, Megan
