And why should you create space for one of your own?Through this body of your own thoughts and journaling and discussing with friends and peers, and in putting in the work of applying the stuff that makes the most sense to you and for you. People matter, you matter, this matters.About the author:Holly Joy McIlwain graduated from Franciscan University in Steubenville in 2003 and spent years working with young people and families, schools, churches, health clubs, salons, and really anywhere that people gathered and talked about what was most important to them. After an exciting decade and a half of working, traveling, dating, and exploring all the best (and worst) parts of life, she met her husband Kevin, settled down, and got married. Just like that she became a mother, too! In heroic pursuit of a master’s degree at the ripe old age of 30-something, and pregnant again, she began rethinking career goals and created something different on her imaginary vision board. A hater of pop-psychology, lover of philosophy, and big time nerd about behavior sciences, Holly finished her master’s degree at Robert Morris University, had that beautiful second baby, and moved for the third (or fourth?) time since marrying the one who gave her the sweet last name (pronounced Mac-Ill-wane). Holly spends her days being a mom to two rambunctious and amazing boys, working in the leadership development and talent industry, and living life to the fullest. Holly’s been speaking and writing for the past nearly 20 years and can’t believe this is her first book.
