Preface
Phoenix – Inner Strength, Resilience, & Renewal
We all have a story, but many choose to tell only the highlights—the palatable parts. Snippets accepted by the public. The rest is tucked away in silence. But what if we told the whole truth?
Not just the chapters we survived, but the ones that nearly ended us. Not just the memories softened by time, but the moments that seared themselves into our nervous system and shaped who we have become.
The path that led here didn’t move in a straight line. It crossed continents and class lines, silence and spectacle. It moved through poverty and proximity to power, through spiritual initiation and institutional neglect, through moments where survival felt accidental and others where it felt deliberate.
Motherhood, medicine, money, and myth all played their part. None of it fit neatly. All of it belongs here.
This isn’t a story wrapped in inspiration or stitched together with perfect lessons. It’s not a linear tale, or a sanitized version of suffering that leaves the hard parts on the cutting room floor. It’s the whole thing—the shards, scars, shadows, and all. A testimony not to tragedy, but to transformation.
Because I was never supposed to be here, not like this. According to the statistics, the curve, the therapists, and the odds… I should have disappeared.
But I didn’t.
Instead, I walked through fire until I became it. And somewhere in the ashes, my soul learned to sing.
This is my story.
I’m currently seeking literary representation for my upcoming memoir, The Phoenix Within—a deeply personal journey through trauma, healing, and the reclamation of self. This book traces a path through childhood abuse, poverty, early motherhood, medical misdiagnoses, identity collapse, spiritual awakening, and the slow, sacred work of rebuilding a life from the ashes. It blends memoir with insight, storytelling with soul, and invites readers to examine not only how we survive—but how we rise.
