This book is being built with the voices of real women.

If you've walked through a major life transition and found your way back to yourself, we want to hear your story. Divorce. Loss. Career change. Empty nest. Health crisis. The end of a role that once defined you.

Your story might be the one another woman needs to hear.

What to expect:

A 60 to 90 minute conversation (virtual or phone)

Questions about your experience, not a script

Your story shared with your permission (you choose how you're identified)

No preparation needed. Just your truth.

This isn't therapy. It's witnessing. We're not looking for perfect endings. We're looking for honest journeys.

Coming 2026

This isn't a book about fixing yourself. It's a book about finding yourself.

For years, we took the nouns they called us and made them our reality. Daughter. Partner. Professional. Caretaker. Good girl. Too much. Not enough.

We believed other people's definitions. We all did.

Returning is a guide through the five stages of coming home to yourself: Awakening, Threshold, Restoration, Emergence, and Flourishing. It weaves together one woman's story with the voices of many, because no one returns alone.

What's Inside

This book offers a framework, not a formula. You'll find:

The Five Stages of Returning and how to recognize where you are

Stories from real women who walked the path before you

Questions to sit with (not problems to solve)

Permission to take as long as you need
