Danna Lewis, a Multi-Faceted Life Coach, Author, Brand Advisor, Radio and Podcast Host and Much More, Unveils the 2nd Edition of Her Book, ‘The Indisputable Gift of Men’

Lewis recently put out the second edition of her book, The Indisputable Gift of Men (DreamSculpt Books), which spawned from finding herself in the midst of the most joyful, heartbreaking, and empowering romantic encounters of her life after years of hearing women, including herself, complain about men. She calls the book “a collection of intimate stories that invites you to unlock caustic, emasculating, judgmental conversations around dating and relationships.” She says she hopes that women who read it will release resentment, increase gratitude, and multiply enjoyment of and with men. In reaching a bountiful moment in her career, Lewis acknowledges plenty of bumps along the way and says she’s thriving because of and not in spite of those challenges.
