Could you switch from what you have been doing for decades to rediscover yourself and live the new You? If so, Join Tammy Hader and me on Wednesday, September 27th, from 10 AM - 11 AM CDT U.S. to learn about her fascinating journey and how we all have that special “moment” from her Walking Old Roads - A Memoir Of Kindness Rediscovered!     Tammy is a midwesterner lady who traded in her 30-year accounting career in 2018 to reinvent herself as a writer. Somehow, she was able to utilize her Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting from Wichita State University to meticulously articulate and arrange the alphabet to give rise to a series of extraordinary writing projects. Referred to as The Bashful Storyteller by one of her writing peers, Tammy authored the powerfully reflective book Walking Old Roads – A Memoir of Kindness Rediscovered, released this past June. She also writes essays about being a migraine warrior for WebMD and publishes life stories as a Baby Boomer for The National Association of Baby Boomer Women and BabyBoomer.org. BizCatalyst360 and Medium have also published Tammy's work. She was also a contributing author to the 2022 Daily Gift Book Series by Teresa Velardi. Resonant and enlightening, “Walking Old Roads” pulls a middle-aged woman from the realization she is at fault for breaking society and carries her out of the cynical, dusty ashes of self-isolation. Guided by her mother's wrinkled hands, a mid-life quest for lost benevolence finds more than answers hidden within the neglected shrubbery scattered along Memory Lane. Tammy is working on the second book of her memoir series, Door Number Three – A Memoir of Stupidity and Confidence. Besides writing, she enjoys caring for her mom, cooking for her family, and serving her two rescue cats with the royal attention they deserve.

Guest Tammy Hader, with a BBA in accounting from Wichita State University, her professional history resides in numbers. In 2018, after a 30-year accounting career, Tammy reinvented herself as a writer. She is an essay writer at Medium, BizCatalyst360, The National Association of Baby Boomer Women, BabyBoomer.org, and WebMD. Tammy is also a contributing author in the Daily Gift Book Series. Walking Old Roads is her first book. Summary Tammy and Jeff discuss her book Walking Old Roads, reflecting on her journey to rediscover her personal sense of kindness and overcome a feeling of disconnection in the current world. She also explores the impact of her corporate career on her withdrawal and the role of role models and faith in regaining a spirit of benevolence. Tammy and Jeff also share insights on trust, genuine connections, and the value of in-person interactions versus technology.
