“Writing my chapter was such an incredibly therapeutic process for me. I was afraid to open up and share my truth, but by writing it all out and getting my thoughts onto the page, I began to feel more empowered, more courageous, and proud of who I am.”

“That I have a story that wants to be heard!”

“I learned that I had a story to share. I didn't know how to pick the defining moment of my life, and it was a process to get there, but once I got the idea, it flowed.”

“I learned I can do hard things, that I'm a good writer, and that I can achieve things I set my sights on. I also felt a wonderful sense of seeing my life journey more clearly and how I became the person I am today.”

“It got into my head for a while, but I knew I would publish it anyway. That sovereignty felt invigorating! To say 'Yes' to myself, over everyone else!”

“Writing has always been a catharsis for me. It’s an opportunity to reflect on all that has transpired, the lessons learned, and the growth afforded me. The path has revealed itself and it’s a beautiful journey in which I give thanks and gratitude.”
