You Are the Key

Turning Imperfections into Purpose

De: Caitlin Crosby

Narrado por: Caitlin Crosby

For anyone who feels less-than about your work, your worth, your body, or the life you're building, find here an incredible hope: you don't have to have it all together to "qualify" for your life's calling.

Just ask Caitlin Crosby, the former Hollywood talent who didn't finish college, never got an MBA, and wasn't supposed to become a CEO--yet that's exactly what she did. Caitlin's passion for people led her to launch The Giving Keys, a give-back jewelry brand with the mission of helping its employees transition out of homelessness. Each of their one million keys sold represents a person who wore it and shared it with someone else, in a unique pay-it-forward model.

In You Are the Key, Caitlin opens up about her own secret "flaw" that rocked her sense of self-worth for the better part of two decades and her private battle to believe that our scars are not sources of shame but proof of courage and prompts toward purpose.

Through Caitlin's all-too-real stories, sparkling with warmth and humor, you'll find the encouragement you need to:

• Be brave enough to let yourself fail
• Reframe your imperfections as signposts guiding you toward your greatest purpose
• Move forward from past mistakes and build something beautiful

As you learn more about Caitlin and her journey, you'll learn that your own path to discovering and developing your purpose won't be a straight line. You'll fall down, and you'll get back up again. But Caitlin's story will remind you that your own imperfections can lead to your greatest purpose--and it all starts today.

This was such a great read. I encourage people who feel lost, wondering where to start, WHEN to start loving themselves to read this book. It was such an eye opener. Learning to love yourself and your life can be such a beautiful process. Learn to love it. Enjoy it. Every part of it.

Best book I’ve listened to in forever

Such an uplifting book that shines so much light on things that matter in life. Couldn’t recommend more to every single human breathing. What a blessing it was to my life. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world Cait!

Everything I didn’t know I needed

This book is an eye opening, heart touching map of how to love and appreciate your entire story. I would read it over and over

From her heart...

I happen to know the author personally. As a close friend of her mother, I have watched this amazing young woman grow from a curly topped toddler to the inspirational human she is today. Her many talents were evident at a young age, as were some challenges held private for many years. To say she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside is not a cliche in this true story. I promise these few hours of your time will be worth every second. God Bless you Caitlin for sharing your truths , insights and positivity.
