My Journey from Overwhelmed Writer to Published Author

I know what it’s like to have a powerful story burning inside you—but no idea where to begin.

When I set out to write Douchebags to Diamonds, I felt a deep calling to share my story. But I quickly realized that wanting to write a book and actually becoming a published author are two very different things.

I didn’t have a mentor.
I didn’t have a roadmap.
I had to figure it out on my own.

So I did what many aspiring authors do: I started researching—everything.
From outlining and organizing my story, to understanding editing, formatting, cover design, ISBNs, publishing platforms, marketing, and beyond… I spent countless hours learning each step of the process.

At times, it felt like I was chasing scattered puzzle pieces, trying to figure out how to turn my story into something real.
But I kept going—because I knew my story mattered.

And your story matters too.

On January 8, 2022, all that hard work paid off when I became a published author. Holding my book in my hands was one of the best moments of my life.

Now, as an award-winning author turned memoir consultant, I help women with transformational life stories navigate the writing and publishing journey—from blank page to published, and beyond. 

I became the guide I once needed—so you can write the memoir you’re meant to share.
