Back in February, I stood on the TEDxPHUHS stage and gave my first TEDx talk: “The Permission to Pivot.” I spoke about the moment I stopped being a classical trombonist and started becoming a tech founder (and everything in between that nobody sees). The identity death. The fear. The years of feeling like I was behind because my path didn’t look like anyone else’s. And right there on that stage, I announced something I’d been building quietly for years: my debut book, “Give Yourself Permission”. This was the moment it all became real. Not just an idea in my head anymore... a published book, a story on the record, permission given out loud. If you’re in the middle of your own pivot right now - this is your sign. ❤️ 📕 Give Yourself Permission — available now at giveyourselfpermissionbook.com #TEDxSpeaker #PublishedAuthor #Book #GiveyourselfPermission
