Out Of my comfort zone

Public speaking? Not my favorite.
Being on camera? Definitely not my thing.
But sharing this story? That’s everything.

I did something way outside my comfort zone… I was invited to two news stations to talk about my new book,
Echoed: if I write loud enough, will you hear me?

I had a one on one interview with my favorite reporter Ashley, from Channel 15. She has been a constant on Preston’s story since the beginning and so full of love and respect for our family.

The second interview was LIVE on Good Morning Arizona!

Talking on camera, especially about grief, isn’t easy.
It was worth every ounce of nervous energy though to conquer this fear. I feel proud of myself and was able to spread the word about Echoed.

This week growth looked like being mic’d up and vulnerable in front of bright lights. Doing it scared and doing it anyway.

Thanks for cheering me on. Every message, every order, every hug…grateful🧡
