And I'm proud to say that Legacy Launch Pad has just released her first book, How to Be a Badass Female CEO: Slay the Competition and Reach the Top!

On this episode, we talked about her process of deciding to do a book as well as the fear that you're not even conscious of which creeps up right before the launch.
