Welcome to Unofficial Book Club: Where Life & Stories Meet!
In this podcast I will be connecting with people through my favorite thing, a good story. And just like any book club we’ll only be spending half the time actually talking about books.
I believe life is like a book, each chapter is a piece of our development and growth with the good, the bad and everything in between that ultimately makes up our story.
Two episodes will be shared with you every other week, first I’ll sit down with a guest to get to know them and the second we will host our own book club, talking about our favorite books!
Thank you for joining me!
