She is passionate about the book because she believes that health and wellness should be free and accessible to everyone.

On the other hand, there are people with no money that need to be mindful of their health and wellness.

The book is composed of 12 free and accessible actions that anyone can do, regardless if they have money or not.

Beyond this, she makes sure to get direct feedback from her employees.
