Acknowledgments
I want to start out by acknowledging my husband, Eric. Without him, the writing of this book would not have been possible. After dreaming about writing this book for months, I asked my husband what he thought about me putting all of my work on hold in order to bring my vision to life. Without a moment of hesitation, he told me to do it; within days, I started writing Fierce Woman . It took almost half the year. And in that time, Eric held it down, working like a madman to sustain our household, just so I could have the space to fully immerse myself in the creative process. So: a huge thank you to my husband for being one of the most supportive, creative, honest, and encouraging people I know.
Thank you to the team at Llewellyn Worldwide. I am forever in your debt. Your publishing company is a force of nature, and to be aligned with it is an absolute dream for me. Thank you to the amazing Elysia Gallo for opening this door of opportunity, and to the brilliant Heather Greene for all your guidance and dedication. And endless gratitude to powerhouse editor Annie Burdick for giving my book such love and care.
xxii And thank you to Tanya Paluso for writing the books foreword, and for all the beautiful work you do to pave the way for so many women.
