Who we are

Memoir & Guide for the messy middle

Words From The Wild

This book is for women who have been betrayed and have betrayed themselves. For those tired of saying yes when they mean no, of trying to prove their worth, and of pretending everything is fine while their bodies scream to be heard.

I wrote this to remind you (and me) that you were born with everything you need to live this very odd human life and that the things you’ve been trying to ‘fix’ or change about yourself might be the alchemy you and the world need.

This all came about whilst I was still in the messy middle of becoming and choosing myself daily over the safer option of remaining isolated and staying hidden. I offer these words not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone who has decided that figuring it out was never the point. The point was always to come home to ourselves. This is my invitation for you to do the same.

Through fourteen vulnerable chapters, I trace the journey from betrayal to belonging to yourself. From learning that bitterness isn’t a fault in my character but a guidance system pointing toward necessary boundaries. Awakening to the truth that empty spaces aren’t empty but pregnant with possibility. And understanding that your body’s rebellion isn’t an inconvenience – it’s your wisest teacher demanding you listen.

Write From The Wild

Every chapter ends with a “Write From The Wild” invitation. This isn’t homework; those days of assignments are long gone. These prompts are designed to help you tell yourself the truth, one word at a time. You don’t need to be a writer. You just need to be willing to stop betraying yourself..

7 Part Writing Methodology

Write From The Wild is a 7-part therapeutic writing methodology that guides people from awareness through embodied integration. Each component serves a specific purpose in the transformation journey. My core philosophy is writing to feel, not to heal – that will follow. The body knows first. Nothing needs to be pretty.

7 Components

The 7 Components:

  • Mini-Invitation (1-5 minutes)
  • Feel It First (3-5 minutes)
  • The Dialogue (15-60 minutes)
  • Inviting Love In (2-3 minutes)
  • Ritual It (5-15 minutes)
  • Claim Your Alchemy (10-15 minutes)
  • Integration Practice (Daily/Weekly ongoing)

This book is for you if:

You’ve spent decades defining your worth through others’ needs and external achievements

You’re exhausted from trying to earn your worthiness

Your body has been screaming for you to listen, and you’re finally ready to hear it

You know there’s something more waiting for you beneath all the “shoulds”. You’re ready to start embracing the joy of who you are. You want permission to be messy, unpolished, and unapologetically real and maybe a little weird.

This is my invitation to start listening to what your wild heart has been trying to tell you all along.

Read this if you’re ready to stop betraying yourself and want to start trusting your wild wisdom.
