Hello ,

I want to share something real with you today. Writing this book has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Not because of the words, but because of what it’s demanded of me emotionally.

Turning my back on the healing industry hasn’t been a clean break. It’s been messy, it’s been heavy, and it’s asked me to question so much of what I once believed in. There have been days where I’ve sat in front of my laptop in tears, wondering if I should keep going. Is it worth it? Yes!

One of the hardest parts has been saying no. I’ve been invited to speak at summits and events that, in the past, I would have leapt at. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t stand on a stage and pretend to agree with conversations that no longer align with what I know to be true. Each “no” has cost me something - visibility, connection, even old friends. But it’s also given me something deeper: integrity.

This book isn’t just about calling out what’s broken.It’s about telling the truth. And the truth, at least for me, is that healing isn’t a job we have to clock into forever. It’s not another label to wear. It’s not an industry. It’s personal, it’s raw, and it’s different for every one of us. And healing requires living and taking chances.

So yes, this journey has been emotional, but it’s also been necessary. And if you’ve ever felt torn between what the world tells you to believe and what your gut is screaming is true, you’ll understand why I couldn’t write this book any other way.

And maybe you know something about this too. The way letting go of what no longer serves you is rarely neat or graceful. It’s messy. It stirs up grief, doubt, and loneliness before it makes space for freedom, joy, and new beginnings. Living differently isn’t polished, it’s raw and human. And that’s the thread I want running through every page of this book.

Thank you for walking this road with me. Knowing you’re here makes the heavy parts a little lighter. I can’t wait for the day I get to place this book in your hands.

With love and gentleness,

PS: The messy middle has revealed a title change and a ton of edits. I want to thank you for holding space for me in this messy middle. It means more than you know.
