Episode description

Luvvie Ajayi Jones is a New York Times bestselling author, podcast host and an incredible speaker. She sits at this amazing intersection of comedy, justice and what she calls, professional troublemaking.

Speaking of professional troublemaking, this episode Luvvie brings so much clarity around finding our voice, being intentional in our actions, and being unapologetically ourselves. Luvvie starts us at her journey through writing. What started as a fledging side project she worked on in her free time became a 17-year (and still counting) blog, AwesomelyLuvvie.com.  

We learn how she grew her community, knew when to transition to writing full time, and sharing her voice on stages, podcasts, books while staying true to herself.

Of course we also talk about her critically acclaimed book I’M JUDGING YOU: The Do-Better Manual and she gives us a little a sneak peek into her upcoming new book, the Fear-Fighter Manual.

Enjoy!
