Mallory Ervin is a natural born achiever. In her new book, Living Fully: Dare to Step Into Your Most Vibrant Life, she shares a life-changing season of addiction and recovery she faced eight years ago, but reminds us, “I wrote this book to the person I am now [not just those with substance addictions]; the person who longs to live a bigger, fuller life.” What does it look like to truly live fully?

Read MoreLaura Hutfless is a business powerhouse, serial philanthropist, and president of the board of the Onsite Foundation. Her generous heart is even larger than her list of achievements and accolades, and she is truly an inspiration to any seeking purpose in the midst of your own pain and grief.
