What if the thing that brings you the most joy is also the thing that asks the most of you? In this episode of Now That You Ask, I share the remarkable journey of transforming a lifetime of stories into my memoir, Unbecoming Behavior: A Southern Memoir of Adventurous Choices. What began as a simple suggestion from a friend became an unexpected exploration of memory, courage, heartbreak, resilience, and self-discovery. As I sorted through decades of experiences, I found myself reconnecting with parts of who I have always been, confronting the moments I would rather have forgotten, and uncovering the thread that has quietly guided me through an adventurous and unconventional life.

This episode is about more than writing a book. It is about listening when your heart calls you toward something bigger, even when it feels vulnerable, intimidating, or impossible. I take you behind the scenes of creating and self-publishing my memoir, from moments of doubt and sleepless nights to the overwhelming joy of holding the finished book in my hands for the first time. If you have ever wondered whether your story matters, dreamed of pursuing a creative passion, or longed to experience the kind of unbridled joy that changes you forever, this conversation is an invitation to trust yourself, take the leap, and see where the journey leads.
