Calling all wonder women on the cusp of 17! The world awaits, brimming with excitement and possibility. But let's be honest, it can also feel a little overwhelming, right? We've all been there, lost in the fog of "adulting" expectations. That's where "The Year Before You Go: Disc One" steps in, a gift for both you and your incredible daughter.

For Daughters:

This isn't your typical teenage self-help book. We're ditching the boring lists and diving straight into the heart of who you truly are. Imagine it as a treasure map to the universe's secrets (the cool parts, at least!), and a journey through the incredible history of powerful women who came before you. Forget limitations - this book is about shattering expectations and building a world that reflects your authentic self.

From the Author: "I was traveling the world doing research for a book and my beautiful little life daughter was turning 17 and I could not be there. There was so much nobody ever told me about life, so much I never learned. On that pivotal year, the year before you leave the nest. What a perfect day to give your children all your wisdom. Everything we have learned along the way. To pass the baton so they can step into the world and create something beautiful, something better. So, this was my way of saying "I love you." Giving away what we have learned on the YBYG."

Brimming with love, wisdom, and that signature rock-and-roll spirit, "The Year Before You Go" is the perfect gift for any young

About the Author

Dinsmore, Erin: - From an early age, I was the person to whom strangers would gravitate, seeking guidance through their complex life challenges and deepest shadows. This natural inclination for deep connection and empathy was a constant through my life, leading to profound conversations with people I had just met, allowing me to gather insights into the human condition. It always baffled my mother, always trying to figure out why.Turns out, I'm an HSP-Highly Sensitive Person. It's like having an antenna tuned to pick up everything: every flicker of light, each shift in tone, the unspoken agony and joy in people's eyes. I processed the world in HD, every detail amplified, every emotion intensified. It's a gift and a curse, living with an open nerve in a world that often feels like sandpaper.I loved life fiercely, yet always felt at odds with it, sensing a deep fracture within us all. Trying to escape the muck of life was like walking with sticky shoes; the mess just follows. So, I chose to dive into the darkness headfirst, to understand us, to understand me. It was a harrowing descent, a journey through night's darkest corners, seeking a glimmer of truth. It was more than loneliness-it was a pilgrimage to the core of existence. And then, in the void, I found it: the stark, blazing truth. The mantra that emerged from the depths was simple yet revolutionary: "When in darkness, light a match." That was my awakening, the moment everything shifted. I learned how to fall in love with the moon. Our shadows hold our deepest lessons. It was there that the awakening took place. The shadows are how we learn, how we evolve. Even in darkness, we are creatures of the heart.
