Interview with Voyage LA

I never wanted my age to stop me from being brave. When I was 18, I read Gretchen Rubin’s book, The Happiness Project, and immediately felt inspired by her story. I thought to myself, “Why not reach out to her and see if she’d like to write a teen edition of The Happiness Project with me?” My inner critic told me I was too young to write a book. Who would think I had anything of value to say? But even with my fear, from my dorm room bunk bed, I emailed Gretchen to make my offer. She wrote back in about an hour that she wasn’t interested. I appreciated that she wrote me back all the same!
