Live life like you mean it. Learn how to live every day with intention through The 5 Buckets! The 5 Buckets is a framework for living with intention. The idea for the book came to me during a retreat as an answer to my search for guidance and reassurance for how I was living my life. I detail the framework and my experience using it to help readers spark, strengthen, and support their own Self-discovery. Lastly, I include a weekly intention guide for readers to record their intentions and reflections for an entire year. The 5 Buckets framework helped me write my first book, start a podcast, newsletter and community. I hope it helps readers from all walks of life enjoy their own pursuit of purpose.
