💜“What Type of Trauma Are You Holding On To?” (Free Quiz Inside) Trauma doesn’t always scream. Sometimes, it whispers—through anxiety, chronic pain, broken relationships, or the feeling that something is just… off. If you’ve ever said,  “I don’t even know what’s wrong with me,” —you’re not alone. Many people carry emotional wounds from childhood, betrayal, loss, or abuse—but they don’t know how to name it. And if we can’t name it, how can we ever hope to heal? That’s why I created this series of gentle self-discovery quizzes—to help you pinpoint what kind of trauma may be holding you back, and where your healing journey can begin. ✨ What You’ll Find Inside: These short, printable questionnaires are designed to guide you with yes/no and multiple-choice style reflections—easy enough for anyone to complete but powerful enough to spark real insight. They cover: Childhood Emotional Neglect Betrayal and Trust Trauma Relationship & Attachment Trauma Survival Mode & Hyper-Independ...

I have something vulnerable and powerful to share: my newest book,  Rooted: Finding Real Love in a Fake World , is officially complete and waiting to be released. This book has been living in my heart for years. It’s not just pages and chapters—it’s pieces of me. It’s everything I’ve learned about heartbreak, healing, over-explaining, people-pleasing, trauma, red flags, and finally—real love. In a world where filters, ghosting, and hookup culture are normalized,  Rooted  is a call back to  what’s real . It’s for the ones who have been told they’re “too sensitive” or “too much,” and have wondered if lasting love even exists anymore. It’s not a dating guide. It’s not another list of dos and don’ts. It’s an invitation. ✨ An invitation to heal. ✨ To reflect. ✨ To reclaim your standards. ✨ To prepare for love that doesn’t require shrinking yourself. Each chapter includes real talk, reflection prompts, and journal exercises—because this isn’t a book you just read. It’s a j...

There was a time in my life when I felt invisible.      Like I was screaming into the world, but no one heard me. I spent years hiding pieces of myself just to keep the peace. But slowly, through healing, journaling, and lots of growing pains—I began to reclaim those pieces. And that’s why I started writing stories again. Not just any stories— stories that feel like medicine for the soul.  Stories that remind people they're not broken. That beauty still blooms after the storm. That you can lose everything you thought you needed and still become someone stronger, softer, and more whole. My Etsy shop was born from that healing. I wanted a place where someone could stumble upon a digital download and feel like the universe left them a love note.                                     My Newest Short Story I just added a new piece called  "The Girl Who Grew Through Winter" .
