But, the actual growth from these experiences can be a real and beautiful thing. I love Kellie's journey of her growth from and through experiences.

For years, I second-guessed myself, played small, and let old beliefs run the show. Then I decided I was done.Now, I show up as I am...ambitious, reflective, a little introverted, and honest enough to say what others won't. I'm still doing the work, still unlearning, still choosing to move forward even when my inner voice tries to tell me to sit still or worse yet, to collapse.I operate in two capacities. One is as an Author and the other is as Co-Owner and Chief Operations Strategist at Resilient Workplace Innovations. As an Author, specifically in my new book, I walk through all the this's that taught me THAT. Meaning that there are lessons in life that get you to where and who you want to be, but they only come after you walked through fire and come out on the other side. They are hard to sit with, but the \"that\" makes you different. And different can be really really good. At RWI, I help organizations lead better, operate smarter, and actually support the people behind their success.I care about growth. Real growth. The kind that challenges you, stretches you, and changes how you show up in business and in life.I've been named a 2025 Albuquerque the Magazine Superwoman and a 2026 Albuquerque Superwoman... which is funny, considering how long I questioned my own worth.But maybe that's the point. I'm not here because I have it all figured out. I'm here because I didn't and I kept going anyway.If you're somewhere in the middle of that too... you're in the right place. And if you love bulldogs-and fully understand they're basically glorified paperweights with personalities-you're definitely in the right place.","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Kellie Tinnin \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":48944171647133,"sku":"9781969508509","price":33.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_d7a40736-4d5d-4992-b03e-900c9ba8d634.jpg?v=1790155118","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/this-taught-me-that-bitter-truths-transitions-and-transformations-that-will-help-you-look-back-in-order-to-move-forward-9781969508509","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
