Welcome to my bookshelf

I’ve been an avid reader for as long as I can remember—the running joke in my family is that while other kids were playing outside, I was tucked away somewhere with my favorite book. That love of reading never left me. These days, friends and family are always asking for my latest book recommendations, so I created this little corner to share them with you too.

Here, you’ll find the stories that are inspiring my creativity, strengthening my faith, and helping me grow as a mom, author, and lifelong learner.

Some links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you decide to make a purchase—at no extra cost to you. It’s a small way to support my author journey while discovering books I truly love.

So grab a cup of coffee, browse my current reads, and maybe find your next favorite book too. 💛

The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.

I closed this book feeling both informed and unsettled—in the best way. Highly recommend this one for anyone ready to understand the mind-body connection on a deeper level.
