The Journey to Authorship

The speaker shares her unexpected journey to becoming an author, which began during the COVID pandemic. Initially, she envisioned writing as something she'd do later in life, but the stagnation of binge-watching Netflix motivated her to start a writing project. Over the course of three years, she transformed her story into a published book titled 'Under the Influence,' which explores the themes of power and greed in the context of toxic workplaces. This fast-paced journey in the publishing world highlights the importance of seizing opportunities and pursuing passions, even when they seem daunting.
