Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity. I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books. A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been “super married” to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids. My first book – How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!) I have tried a podcast – it’s still on Apple and Google Podcasts – but writing is where my heart is. My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit. I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually. Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!

When Your Mentor Doesn’t Know She is Your Mentor

Ok, so what happens when you are having the most. Challenging. Week. Of. Your. Life? You turn to your people. You turn to your mentors. (Rach, I know you don’t know me, but you are the most amazing mentor I could ever have! So thank you!!!) Hitting bookstores AND Audible on March 12, 2019, Girl, Stop Apologizing by the incomparable Rachel Hollis will be hitting shelves to follow up her New York Time’s Bestseller Girl, Wash Your Face. And as much as I am in love with GWYF, I am even MORE bananas for Girl, Stop Apologizing. I cannot wait for you to get a chance to read it!!

……..

Now Rachel and I are going to sit down with a glass of pink moscato, and process this week. (I have a good imagination, but with this book, I feel like I can hear her no nonsense voice, helping me through.)
