In 2017, stuck in a loop of codependency and people-pleasing, 32-year-old novice backpacker Nicole Antoinette sets off to find her self-belief and inner resilience by doing something she does not for one second believe she can actually do: solo- hike all 800 miles of the rugged Arizona Trail.

The guiding question she brings with her is this: What do we find when we push ourselves further than we ever thought we could go?

How To Be Alone: an 800-mile hike on the Arizona Trail is a cathartic adventure memoir that explores the privilege to be able to choose your own suffering, as well as the process of becoming a better friend to yourself along the way.

What happens when you don't want the same things that everyone around you seems to want? How lonely is a life lived off the traditional path?

In August 2021, after years of grieving a divorce, living in a tiny van, and grappling with pandemic isolation, lapsed hiker Nicole Antoinette set out to walk all 491 miles of the Colorado Trail.

It had been more than two years since her last long-distance hike at that point, and she had no idea if she could still do it. Was it unrealistic to think that she could spend months of each year out in the wilderness? At 36-years-old shouldn't she be focusing on other goals? A career, for instance, or buying a house and putting down roots?

What We Owe to Ourselves is a thoughtful and fun adventure memoir, exploring what happens when you decide to turn away from all the shoulds and take the risk of defining success for yourself instead.

Tag - you're it can be heard in virtually all neighborhoods as children play the game Tag. The basic rule to Tag is that one person is designated as it, and that person runs around trying to touch someone else. If they succeed, the person they touch is now it. Unannounced, that cheerful, yet competitive children's game seems to be played out in companies throughout the world as individuals experience a job layoff, except they do not play by choice. When we get the tap on the shoulder and are told, you're it (i.e., laid off), unlike in the children's game, we cannot start running through the office building attempting to tap a co-worker and announce that they are now it. We are immediately out of the game and can no longer play with them. The minute a layoff occurs one's workplace status, lifestyle, and household often change for the worst. Your Guide to Surviving a Job Layoff, written with you - the reader - in mind, is a path of empowerment with the resources and tools needed to resume a life that is on track. The book aims to help those who are unemployed and in transition Get Beyond the Day. Each of the interactive chapters is filled with noteworthy suggestions to help readers plan for a stable life regardless of the country's economic state. These tips come from the co-authors' calls to government agencies, from their personal research, and even from their own experiences and hard life-lessons.
