About the Book

Reflecting on my journey through the ups and downs of life and my experiences as a cashier for a large toy store, a school bus driver, Coca-Cola Foods caser operator, a packer in the foam plate industry, and a few injection molding companies, I’m reminded of the power of resilience and determination. Have you ever had unanswered questions swirling in your mind? Searched for answers to nagging thoughts? Or voiced questions aloud, only to realize they were meant to be silent? I have. Inspired by the wisdom of others, from books to podcasts, I’ve curated my thoughts and insights into a collection of reflections that I hope will inspire you to embrace your own imperfections and keep pushing forward. Join me as we explore the beauty of authenticity and the strength that lies within our vulnerabilities.

About the Author

As a now packer specialist in the foam plate industry, I’ve spent years navigating the fast-paced production environment of our EPS/Print department, where we create custom cups for brands like McDonald’s. Throughout my journey, I’ve overcome obstacles, biases, and skepticism from peers who doubted my abilities or simply didn’t like me. But I’ve emerged stronger, with valuable lessons in resilience, determination, and self-acceptance. In this book, I share my story, imperfections and all, to inspire others to embrace their own uniqueness and keep pushing forward. I may not be perfect, but I’m a work in progress, shaped by my experiences and the opinions of those around me. And that’s okay.
