Life be lifin’... AND if you really want something, you’ll find a way to make it happen.
You never truly know what you’re capable of until you START.
In the middle of life lifin’—caregiving, finding time to take care of myself, searching for new opportunities, running a business, closing a business, redirecting, repurposing—I wrote a book with one mission: to help others.
I’ve been sitting with this moment for a while. Not because I wasn’t ready to announce it, but because I wanted to make sure that when I finally said it out loud, I meant every word.
My book is here. I’m officially a self-published author.
This Is My START is officially available, and I couldn’t be more excited to put it into your hands.
This book was written for the woman standing at a crossroads.
Maybe you’ve been there for a while and aren’t sure which direction to go. Maybe life shifted unexpectedly, and you’re trying to figure out who you are on the other side of it. Maybe you know there’s more for you, but you haven’t been able to name it—or chase it—just yet.
That’s the woman I wrote this book for.
That woman was me not too long ago.
This Is My START walks you through the foundation of what it takes to move forward—not with a checklist or a 30-day plan, but with the kind of deep, honest work that creates lasting change.
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
Part One: Affirming Who You Are
Self-awareness is at the heart of everything. You can’t move forward if you don’t know where you’re standing. This section helps you get grounded in who you truly are—not who you’ve been told to be or who you’ve become out of habit, but who you are at your core.
Part Two: Deciding What You Want
This is where you stop drifting and start choosing. It’s the difference between reacting to your life and intentionally directing it. You’ll gain clarity about what you truly want and why it matters, so your next steps reflect your own vision—not someone else’s.
Part Three: START
At some point, all the reflection and clarity have to lead somewhere. They have to lead to action. This section is about taking that first step—from where you are, with what you have, right now.
Throughout the book, we explore themes of self-belief, identity, life transitions, consistency, and what it really looks like to invest in yourself with intention.
Whether you’re stepping into a new season, navigating a transition you didn’t ask for, or finally choosing yourself after years of pouring into everyone else, this book meets you exactly where you are.
And I want you to know this isn’t a read-it-once-and-put-it-on-the-shelf kind of book.
It’s a work-through-it, highlight-it, write-in-it, and come-back-to-it kind of book. Every section is designed to move you closer to the life you’re ready to create.
