- Books
During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, forced so many to learn new things during quarantine. Many went through a number of emotions, trials, and tribulations. Seeking to do more for her friends, family and local community, Josie Collier began posting ideas to cope with staying indoors on social media (#IncredibleIndoorIdeas). Many of those ideas led to the creation of Josie's recent best-selling book, What a Year!: Collierisms, Cocktails, & Cooking.
Each month of 2020 and part of 2021, Josie figured out ways to stay safe and sane indoors as she made new culinary discoveries, remembered some old favorites and used the lessons of resilience to cope with the new normal. You'll hear all about that as you listen to Josie's story on this episode today.
If you have memories of how you got through the pandemic, then you will relate to Josie's experience as well. And if you're someone who has a creative flair and enjoys trying new things, then you're going to enjoy her book!
For now, I think you're really going to enjoy this conversation, so I invite you to sit back and listen in.

Josie Collier is an example of the versatility of a liberal arts degree. After a career for almost a decade in multiple mental health positions, she has spent the last decade working in healthcare IT. She is now a consultant specializing in an electronic medical record system called Epic helping various hospitals and clinics set up the Epic system and managing projects to improve patient care. However, Josie is not just a consultant; she is a mom, a world traveler, a baker, and a mentor.
