For years, people encouraged me to write—urging me to share my story to spread more light, resilience, and hope with the world. I always felt the pull… but every time I tried, the discomfort of vulnerability would rise up like a wave, stopping me before I could begin.

It wasn’t until the summer of 2024, during a four-month soul-searching journey across remote places—with no electricity and nothing but pen and paper—that I finally found the courage to let the words flow. What began as a quiet journaling practice turned into a release—a decade’s worth of thoughts, lessons, and lived experiences pouring out onto the page. It was raw, uncertain, and deeply cathartic.

Then, something magical happened.

In January 2025, I was invited to co-author an anthology with Life Changing Energy—a project featuring 30 powerful voices sharing true stories of healing and transformation. At first, I hesitated. The thought of putting my heart on display for such a large audience brought those familiar fears back.

Then something inside me shifted… I chose to embrace courage and leap into the unknown.

On this journey, I learned to listen to the call of the wild wolf within. To throw my head back, howl my heart out, and shake off my fur. Trusting that my pack is out there and that I am right where I need to be.

Writing my chapter, “Awakening the Healer Within: Transforming Pain into Purpose through the Keys of Alignment,” wasn’t just about crafting a narrative. It was emotional processing. It was integration. It was healing. And yes—it was tough to distill 10,000 words of soul into 2,500. Yet when I finished, I knew I had honored the story that wanted to be told.

What I didn’t expect was the overwhelming support that followed. Friends, family, patrons, and even strangers reached out with love, encouragement, and gratitude. In those moments, it hit me: this is why I write. To connect. To inspire. To remind you that you are not alone.

The path isn’t always easy. Life gets messy. But there is always a light—always a way forward. And if my story can help illuminate yours, then every moment of fear was worth it.

With infinite gratitude to my friends, family, community, loved ones, and to Vickie Gould and the entire Life Changing Energy team—thank you for helping me make this dream a reality.

This is just the beginning.
