AWAKE

Notes from the Quiet Hours

It started at 2:47 a.m.

Not every night. But most nights.

I don't sleep through the night anymore. Started sometime in my late forties. Perimenopause, they say. Hormones. Stress. Age.

So I started writing the nights down.

Not about how to fix it. Just about what it felt like.

The weight. The fog. The loneliness of being the only one awake while the world sleeps.

I wrote 60 nights. Real time. Raw and honest.

This book is for you if you've ever been awake at 3 a.m. when you didn't want to be. If you've felt alone in the dark hours. If you want company, not solutions.

It's not a how-to book. I don't have the answers. I just have the nights. And if these nights sound familiar, maybe they'll make you feel less alone.

Shadow and Light

Heal, Grow, and Transform Through Your Unseen Self

A 12-Week Guided Journal

I’m a woman, just like you, who knows what it’s like to carry emotions that feel too big, too messy, or too much. I’ve wrestled with self-doubt, anger, and those nagging patterns that keep repeating. So I did the work—diving deep into the research, asking hard questions, and finding real ways to break through.

And now, I’m sharing it all with you.

Shadow and Light is a 12-week guided journal designed to help you:
✨ Understand emotions like anger, jealousy, and fear (without shame)
✨ Break free from old patterns that no longer serve you
✨ Reconnect with yourself in a real, honest, and empowering way

This isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about seeing yourself clearly, with kindness. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s walk this journey together.
