What happens when a dyslexic entrepreneur, a 99-cent essay, and AI collide?

It’s a celebration of personal growth, a reflection on self-trust, and a love letter to my first life coach and dear friend, Jo Webster—who opened the door to everything personal development has meant in my life.In this episode, we explore:Emerson’s wisdom in plain, modern languageWhat self-reliance really means todayHow I use AI as a tool for deeper learningDaily practices for living a more aligned lifeAnd a special birthday tribute to Jo 💛If you’ve ever struggled to connect with “the classics,” or felt like personal growth wasn’t built for how you learn—this one’s for you.
