Day 82/100: I’m officially an author. And it’s also my birthday today.🥹🩷

Today feels like one of those moments I will remember for a very long time.

Today, I turn a year older.
Today, my first book is officially open for pre-order.
Today, I get to say something I have dreamed of saying for years:

I am an author.🥹

I don’t think I fully understand how special this moment is yet.
There is something emotional about watching a thought that once existed only in your mind become something real. Something you can hold. Something you can share with people. Something that carries a piece of you beyond yourself.

A few years ago, I was simply someone who loved writing. I wrote because words were the easiest way for me to understand the world around me. I wrote because there were feelings I couldn’t always explain through conversations, but I could somehow find the right words for them on a page.

I never imagined those words would one day become a book. But here we are.

My first book, Permission to Feel, Freedom to Live, is finally here.

And honestly, the timing feels so meaningful.
On the same day I celebrate another year of my life, I get to introduce a piece of my heart to the world.
This book has been years in the making.
The idea lived with me for a long time before I finally gave it the attention it deserved. I kept thinking about how many women struggle to understand their emotions. How many of us experience feelings we cannot name. How many of us were taught to suppress, ignore, or judge our emotions instead of learning how to understand them.

That is the reason I wrote this book.

Because emotions are a part of our humanity.
They deserve to be acknowledged. They deserve to be understood. They deserve to be felt.

Permission to Feel, Freedom to Live is a book for the woman who wants to understand herself better.
The woman who has spent years trying to be okay when she was actually hurting.

The woman who wants to build a healthier relationship with her emotions and with herself.

The woman who is ready to stop seeing her feelings as a weakness and start seeing them as a part of her story.

I poured so much of myself into these pages.
My thoughts. My experiences. My observations.
The conversations I have had with women.
The lessons I have learned along the way.

Writing this book changed me. It made me reflect on parts of myself I had never properly explored. It challenged me to look deeper into emotions, healing, identity, and the experiences that shape who we become.

It reminded me why I fell in love with writing in the first place. Because words have the ability to reach places that conversations sometimes cannot.
And now, I get to share those words with you.

My birthday has always been a time for reflection.
A moment to look back at where I have been, the prayers that have been answered, the dreams I am still chasing, and the person I am becoming.

This year, I get to add something new to that reflection. And I am so grateful.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
Thank you for reading my words.
Thank you for believing in my stories before there was ever a book attached to my name.

I hope this book finds every woman who needs it.
I hope it reminds you that your emotions are not something you need to fight. They are something you can learn from.
