18 Books to Spark Action and Get You Together
|
Hi Reader, I recently shared a few of my favorite memoirs that I loved listening to. But this time? I’m back with a different kind of list—18 books that’ll get you together. You know those books that make you pause mid-sentence, sit up a little straighter, and say, “Whew, I needed to hear that”? The ones that light a fire under you and make you want to show up differently—not tomorrow, but right now? That’s what this list is about. Because here’s the truth: sometimes we need the inspiration of a story to help us reflect, but other times? We need a straight-up kick in the face—the kind that stops the pity party and reminds you what you’re capable of. These types of books are necessary. We all have moments when we get stuck—whether it’s in our careers, relationships, or just the everyday routines that leave us feeling stagnant. Books like these have a way of shaking things up. They pour into you in ways you didn’t even realize you needed. For me, listening to these books on Audible has poured into me in ways I didn’t even know I needed. They all have brought me clarity. They sparked action. And they inspired me to move—toward my goals, my vision, and the life I know I’m destined for. So, if you’ve been waiting for a fresh perspective, a little tough love, or just a reminder to get it together—this is your sign. Here is a running list of the books that got me together:
With us being in a new year, these books will definitely help you get to the next level you’re anticipating for this year. I highly recommend adding a few to your reading list.

Hi Reader, There’s something special about this time of year. The holiday season is perfect for slowing down, cozying up, and catching up on all the reading (or listening!) you’ve been meaning to do. And if you’re anything like me, there’s nothing better than a good memoir—especially one read by the author. It’s like sitting across from them, tea in hand, having a real conversation about their life. The way they tell their story hits differently—like they’re letting you into a part of their...
Hi Reader, Over the years, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked this question: “How do I stand out in the workplace?” I get it in emails, during career coaching sessions, and in DMs—it always comes up. And trust me, I understand why. Standing out in your career feels like this mysterious, elusive experience.
