Curated Authenticity
Rachel Hollis, Mommy Blogger and Relationship Coach Is Getting A Divorce
While I’ve heard the name “Rachel Hollis” before, I’ve never read her work. Mainly because I’m extremely skeptical of online personas like Hollis, Caroline Calloway, Tony Robbins, etc. — They subscribe to what the author calls, “curated authenticity,” which sounds like the perfect term to me. Really good read! Completely devoured it from start-to-finish.
