Print Version Update + Keeping Up

     As many of you know, there was a hitch in the giddup of publishing Shadow Work in the print version, while the ebook version went live smoothly and as expected. I'm happy to announce that Shadow Work will  be available in print at Barnes & Noble within the week! To be clear, this will be available for order online only  for the time being (of course, you can go in-store to order/request it). Also, please allow a slight delay in delivery as COVID-19 is continuing to wreak havoc on every industry, the world of book printing being no exception.      What I Control/Don't Control: Insight for Fellow Writer Friends     I wanted to take a moment to pull back the curtain a bit and teach my fellow-authors about what the self-publishing process is like.

Telling stories has always been second-nature to me. Telling my  story, however, has been difficult. The fact that the first book I'll ever have published is, in part, telling my story is incredibly humbling.         When you're the writer-type, naturally you attract other members of your commun...

Why I Wrote Shadow Work

      I am so excited to announce the impending arrival of my book, Shadow Work, on January 14th of this grand, beautiful new year, 2022. This is such an exciting time for me, and I'm extremely grateful for all of the support I've received in preparation for the launch.           I wrote this book with the intention of introducing others to a practice that absolutely turned my life around. I wanted to utilize my own story to help others make sense of theirs. The chaos 2020 and 2021 inflicted on society at large was mirrored by the chaos of the transition that was happening inside of myself as I navigated my way out of a marriage that simply didn't serve me, figured out what would  serve me, made sense of my spiritual beliefs, sorted out where I was going with my life, fought battle after battle with chronic illness, made peace with my physical existence, and so much more. I knew that because I had survived, I had to go back for the other...
