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 world that you wouldn’t get anywhere else. I’ve always been into memoirs, and Audible has been my go-to. Whether I’m driving in the city, prepping dinner, or winding down at the end of the day, I love letting the author’s voice guide me through their story. And when the book is really good? I’ll admit...I miss the author when it’s over. With the holidays in full swing, now is the perfect time to add some inspiring, emotional, and truly unforgettable memoirs to your list. Here are 20 memoirs I couldn’t put down:
Each one of these has stayed with me long after the last page and I hope you will say the same. Whether you’re looking for your next Audible listen or just a good read, these stories are worth adding to your list. Shop the full collection on Amazon here Have a favorite memoir?

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. We all want to be seen, valued, and trusted, but figuring out how to make that happen can feel overwhelming and like we have to reinvent the wheel to make it happen. If I’m...
Since announcing the relaunch of my book - my inbox has been flooded with encouraging responses about the vulnerability it took to make my needs and goals clear in this season. If I'm brutally honest, I'm still shaking in my boots because while I know I need help, I'm not used to "putting myself out there." I'm second-guessing myself with questions like: What happens if I don't hit my goal by January? How embarrassing would it be if nobody buys a single book? What if someone buys the book,...
