Awww, y’all. I am just so flattered and feeling the love so much! I’m blushing and cheesin’ from ear to ear as I write this. My tribe just has reacted so well to my plans to write a book (or 3). And then I went on the live and people watched! And people engaged. It’s…
Big news in the world of Cody Eccard! I got a new job, and I’m moving! I want to be open and honest about my life in this blog: so here I go. I know parts of this post come across as me bragging, but I’m excited to share how I landed this sweet new…
Lots of people have ideas and some people act on them. 2018 is my year to act on ideas and make shit happen. One of the ideas I’m embarking on is writing a book. The general concept is a health book and a how to avoid being sick book. Its a book of info you should…
