What inspired you to write your book?
The journey in healing from childhood abuse is harrowing and often difficult to navigate. Reading and listening to others’ stories of healing was crucial in helping me maintain hope that healing is possible. I wanted to pass on that hope along with the tools I’ve learned to help in the healing process.

What is a typical day like for you?
I’m an early riser–I love the stillness and peace of the early morning. Meditation, journaling, and reading help me get emotionally and mentally centered for the day. The rest of the day is usually pretty simple–walk with friends, work on blog posts, writing my upcoming book, or interviewing people about their own healing journey. The end of the day always includes time with my husband.
