"I am honored to be among the 2024 EVVY Award finalists selected by CIPA.

I am thrilled to receive this recognition from the best of the best," said Farmer.
Chart Your Path was published in March 2024. It is highly acclaimed by readers and has already received an International Impact Book Award. The book weaves relatable, real-life stories with nine steps for readers to follow and make positive changes for a more authentic lifestyle.
