I’m excited (and a little stunned) to share that my first book is now out in the world: Uncle Bobby’s Guide to Happy Adulting. https://a.co/d/ekErFhT

This project has been years in the making—part humor, part heart, part practical tools for anyone who’s ever thought, “Am I doing this whole adulting thing right?” (spoiler: none of us really are).

I wrote it with the hope that it can bring a little relief, perspective, and maybe even a laugh to the people who pick it up.

If you’re curious, you can check it out here: Uncle Bobby’s Guide to Happy Adulting.

Thank you to the friends, colleagues, and readers who’ve encouraged me along the way—it means more than I can say.

The point is, it's not a quid-pro-quo situation. Both parties come away with more than they went in with.

EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE HEARD How often have you found yourself wanting to open up about what’s weighing on you but held back, fearing once you start, you might not be able to stop? Perhaps friends or loved ones ask if you’re okay, but even though you appreciate their concern, you aren’t looki...
