A dream realized---I am a published Author!! For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt the quiet pull of a dream calling me — one day, I’ll write my story. But like so many of us, I tucked it away… waiting for the “right time,” the “right words,” or the “right version” of myself to begin.
Then life happened — the kind of life that changes you forever. I realized that I was suffering from extreme burnout. The kind that has you believing you are alone, unworthy, can’t find joy and just simply cannot exist.
It was through those moments that I realized my story wasn’t meant to stay hidden. The pain, the lessons, the resilience — it all had purpose. And sharing it became part of my healing, my becoming, and my way of helping others see what’s possible when we choose to rise.
Writing my chapter "From Victim of Circumstance to Creator of Circumstance" for this book has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. What began as a dream became a sacred journey — one that reminded me that courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s choosing to speak anyway.
🌿 So many people dream of sharing their story, but few take the leap.
I’m proud to say I did — and now, I get to share it with you.
You can read my story (and the powerful stories of incredible women who walked this path beside me) in Elevated Resilience: Rising Strong Through Life’s Challenges.
All proceeds from this book go to The Zebra Child & Youth Advocacy Centre (), supporting children and youth on their own journeys of healing.
