February 2024: Audio Book Recorded for Powered by the Pivot
Good News!. Jon Warcholak coached me through the challenging heartfelt moments in my memoir. It was so rewarding to work with my brother, the producer. Did you know the producer spends more time with the recording than the narrator? It’s estimated that the producer will spend 3 or more hours editing for every hour of recording. My heart is happy and so proud to announce the audiobook is coming…. stay tuned for updates.
