Adulting: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet – From Post-It Note to Published

In the incredible adventure that is life, I stumbled upon unexpected inspiration that led to the creation of my upcoming self-help book, Adulting: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet. It all began with a humble Post-It note and unfolded into a chapter of self-discovery and empowerment.

Picture this: I was pregnant with my first child, navigating the emotions of impending parenthood. During this introspective period, the idea for the book emerged, hastily written on a small, neon-colored Post-It note, just simple ideas I wanted to pass on to my daughter when she was old enough.

I remember the moment vividly. Pregnancy had me contemplating the challenges of parenthood and the broader landscape of ‘adulting.’ I started jotting down practical tips and advice, almost as a reminder about what they don’t teach you in school.

What started as a personal survival guide evolved into something much greater. The Post-It note became a mosaic of wisdom, a manuscript that would soon blossom into Adulting: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet. I poured my experiences, learnings, and insights into every word, creating a comprehensive guide for those navigating the tumultuous waters of adulthood. I realized the information in the book had the potential to help not just my daughters, but countless people, and I wanted that.

My initial plan was to self-publish, sharing my hard-earned insights directly with those who needed them. Little did I know that the universe had bigger plans.

To my surprise, I received an unexpected offer from Cedar Fort Publishing. The opportunity to reach a wider audience and impact more lives was too incredible. It felt like the universe aligned with my intention to help others on their journey of ‘adulting.’

Accepting the publishing contract was a turning point for me. The excitement of knowing that my book would soon be in the hands of readers worldwide filled me with gratitude and joy, and I still get emotional to this day thinking about it. I think when we do things for the right reasons, to help others, good things really do start to happen.

I never imagined my scribbles on a Post-It note would lead to this. But here we are, on the brink of sharing Adulting: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet with the world. It’s a surreal and incredibly fulfilling moment.

As I eagerly anticipate the release of my book a month from now, I reflect on the unexpected twists and turns that brought me to this point. Life has a way of surprising us. I hope that Adulting: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet becomes a companion for anyone navigating the complexities of adulthood, offering guidance and support when needed.

So, keep an eye out for this empowering guide, born from lots of life experience and the humble beginnings of a Post-It note and nurtured into a beacon of wisdom. Adulting is not just a book; it’s a testament to the transformative power of sharing our experiences to uplift and guide others on their journey through the maze of adulthood. I’m grateful to have you all on this journey.
