SIX YEARS LATER... AND WE'RE GOING ON A BOOK TOUR! 📚❤️

WHY NOT?!

I'm so excited to announce that my Generation Why Not® Book Tour kicks off on Wednesday, November 18, with the College Alumnae Auxiliary (CAA) of the Assistance League of Los Angeles!

I'll be sharing ideas from my bestselling book, Generation Why Not?: 7 Principles to a Purposeful Business and Life, and talking about something I believe with all my heart.

It's never too late to begin a new chapter, reinvent yourself, or say YES to a dream!

And here's something especially exciting! Chevalier's Books will be joining us! 📖

We'll be gathering at the beautiful San Antonio Winery in Los Angeles for an afternoon of friendship, inspiration, and wonderful conversations.

📍 San Antonio Winery, Los Angeles📅 Wednesday, November 18, 2026
🕛 Lunch at 12 PM | Speaker at 12:45 PM
🎟️ CAA Members $65 | Guests $75
Tap the link in bio for more event details and tickets.

Even better, proceeds support the wonderful mission of the Assistance League of Los Angeles, helping improve the lives of children.

I can't think of a more meaningful way to launch this tour!

An amazing book doesn't have an expiration date. Neither do your dreams.

Generation WHY NOT?! ❤️

“You don’t know what you don’t know.”

Erica Brown shares how traveling and reading helped her see that people live very different lives around the world.

She also learned that sometimes the best way to experience a place is to put down the camera, step away from the screen, and simply be there.

How do you stay present when you travel?

🎃 LA friends, this one is definitely NOT a trick. It’s a treat! ☕️

I’ve been wanting to connect with so many of you in person, so I thought... WHY NOT?!

On October 30 from 12:00 to 1:30 PM PT, I’ll be at Peet’s Coffee on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, and I’m treating the first 10 people who join me to coffee.

Come say hello, tell me what you’re working on, bring your book idea, business idea, big dream, visibility question, TEDx idea, book tour vision, or anything else you’d love to brainstorm.

No formal presentation. Just coffee, conversation, connection, and a few big WHY NOT?! ideas.

If you want to join me, comment COFFEE2026 or send me a DM so I know you’re coming. 🎃☕️

“Shopping should feel encouraging, not overwhelming.”

Life changes can make getting dressed feel different. Body changes, motherhood, menopause, or simply being too busy to shop can make the experience exhausting.

That’s why Erica Brown created Dylan Delivered, bringing personal styling directly to your door while keeping the human connection at the heart of the experience.

What would make shopping feel more encouraging for you?

“You don’t really know how the rest of the world lives.”

For Erica Brown, To Kill a Mockingbird was the first book she couldn’t put down.

The story opened her eyes to experiences beyond her own and inspired her to think differently about empathy, advocacy, and how she treats others.

What book changed the way you see the world?

"You never know if you're going to save a life with a book that you write."

I believe our stories are meant to be shared. You never know whose life your words might reach, or who might need your story to keep going.

What story do you feel you're meant to share?

"I learned that indeed I will author my life, but it won't be the story I thought I was writing."

I thought I knew what my life would look like. Then life took me somewhere I never could have planned, and I discovered a deeper sense of meaning and purpose along the way.

Has life ever taken you somewhere you never expected to go?

"The divine does not play small, and neither should we."

There is always more waiting for us when we're willing to step beyond what feels comfortable. Growth asks us to embrace what's next, step into leadership, and say yes to the purpose we're here for.

What is one area of your life where you're ready to step into more?

The first rule of good writing: show, do not tell.

It is just as true for your career, and almost no author uses it.

A page about you can only tell. The moment someone can watch you, they
stop taking your word for it and decide for themselves. That decision is the
one that sticks and gets repeated.

A published book gives you authority. Being watchable gives you reach.

The question is not only whether your book is good. It is whether anyone
can see you being who you are.

Full piece at the link in my bio.

Have you ever been filmed talking about your work?

"I don't feel pain, but I understand the pain. I don't feel grief, but I understand the grief."

I can deeply understand what someone is going through without taking their pain on as my own. Sometimes, empathy means being present with someone's experience while still protecting your own peace.

How do you stay compassionate without taking on someone else's emotions?
