my story
ALCOHOL-FREE LIFESTYLE
“Nobody realizes that some people extend tremendous energy merely to be normal.” -Albert Camus
In my 30s, I often thought about not drinking. However, due to alcohol being normalized in our society and labels like alcoholic, I never got help. I never identified myself as a problematic drinker. Years later, I realized you can stop anything that isn’t serving you. Drinking impacted my health and brought on a lot of shame. On my 39th birthday I decided to work on my relationship with alcohol. My journey was far from perfect, and I believe it was the messy middle that helped me quit.
After I officially said I quit, it was like a weight was taken off my shoulders. I no longer had to worry about moderating and trying to control a substance that was unpredictable. By listening to my intuition and not drinking, I realized I needed to start working on strengthening my intuitive powers. During a walk, I had the idea to write a children’s book and published my first book in May 2023. I have now begun to work on a non-fiction book and doors truly did open once I stopped drinking alcohol.
My children books.
I’ve written two children's books! I’m a strong advocate for mental health and teaching our children they can dream big. Please check out my books below.
Miranda Learns the Art of Not Fitting
Miranda Learns the Art of Not Fitting inis a children’s book that tells the story of Miranda, a young girl who moves to a new school and faces the challenge of finding her place. Miranda tries to fit in with different groups of kids, but she soon realizes that she doesn’t share their interests or values. She feels lonely and unhappy until she decides to join the choir and discovers her passion for singing. There, she meets new friends who share her love for music and accept her for who she is.
Hudson Learns the Art of Not Giving Up
Hudson finds many challenges when he learns how to roller skate. At first, roller skating seems like an impossible task for Hudson to master. Frustration and self-doubt begin to take hold, making him want to give up before he can even get started. Through practice and hard work, Hudson gains valuable life lessons about resilience and the importance of not giving up on his goals.
I began my writing journey by taking a course from John Fox and I would highly recommend it. Linked below is his course to begin your children’s book-writing journey!
