Hey Glow Getters,
Welcome to The Glow Lab Book Club!
Thank you for showing up and being part of this book club. It means a lot to me. I know your time is valuable and I'm excited for all of us to glow through Becoming by Michelle Obama.
This isn’t just about reading. It’s about refining your voice, thinking critically, and learning how to show up with more power and presence as a VA, a brand, and a woman in transition, ready for her glow-up!
Here is the copy of your PDF eBook:
This is a great opportunity to sharpen real-world skills in a supportive space.
If you have any questions or issues with the PDF eBook link, let me know, by emailing me: hey@itsmonica.com.
Thank you!
