Learning to see crisis and chaos as creative and benevolent forces is not always easy. In fact, when the world feels like it’s spinning out of control, this perspective may seem completely out of reach. If you’d asked me in the heart of the pandemic or other difficult times, I might not have been able to grasp onto it either. However, over time I’ve learned again and again, dark moments will eventually pass, cuts and bruises will heal, and the sun will once again shine through.

The collaborative anthology, "SCARS to STARS: Stories of Vulnerability, Resilience, and Overcoming Adversity" is available today on Amazon.com. The organization benefitting from the book - The Realize Foundation - is focused on creating community and conversations about mental health awareness and suicide prevention. The book’s authors – including yours truly -  are sharing our stories to support the foundation and bring hope to those dealing with personal challenges and adversity of all kinds.
The Dream Team Ducks and I are very proud to be a part of this book. To learn more about my story and the other authors, visit www.realizefoundation.org for our FREE online book launch today, 2-22-22 at 8 AM PST/11 AM EST and to get the replay after the launch. You can also visit the link in the show notes to buy the book or at access an interview with me discussing my chapter.  Thank you so much for sharing this information with anyone who has experienced mental health challenges or been affected by suicide.

SCARS TO STARS - focused on mental health awareness and suicide prevention

I'm really honored to be part of a new book - SCARS to Stars - which is being released February 22nd. Though The Dream Team Ducks and I provide a bit of comic relief, our journey together began at a very difficult time.
Scars to Stars is a collection of 20 very personal stories of overcoming situations in life that touch all of us in different ways. The purpose of our vulnerability and authenticity is to meet you in your lowest of lows so you know you are not alone.
Proceeds from the book will benefit The Realize Foundation. We believe that conversation and community can reduce the suicide statistics and help people live healthy productive lives!
Join us for the official book launch on Feb 22 - online and FREE - and stay tuned for details about how to get your copy.

SCARS TO STARS - focused on mental health awareness and suicide prevention

I'm really honored to be part of a new book - SCARS to Stars - which is being released February 22nd. Though The Dream Team Ducks and I provide a bit of comic relief, our journey together began at a very difficult time.
Scars to Stars is a collection of 20 very personal stories of overcoming situations in life that touch all of us in different ways. The purpose of our vulnerability and authenticity is to meet you in your lowest of lows so you know you are not alone.
Proceeds from the book will benefit The Realize Foundation. We believe that conversation and community can reduce the suicide statistics and help people live healthy productive lives!
Join us for the official book launch on Feb 22 - online and FREE - and stay tuned for details about how to get your copy.
