About the Book

Letters to Lilly (Lessons in Leadership & Loving Yourself) sits at the intersection of leadership and personal development. An anthology of letters to a younger self collected from around the world, these letters share poignant memories and lessons that will inspire readers of all ages and backgrounds. This book aims to spread the message that so many of us share the same struggles, challenges, and opportunities regardless of where we sit in the world. We are all stronger and more resilient than we realize, and that inner fortitude is something that will carry us through difficult times. The idea of loving yourself is too often overlooked; we can be our own harshest critic when we should be our own greatest ally. And most importantly, it is meant to serve as a reminder that “you are not alone.”
