From book in hands to book in the world. 🤯
A few weeks ago, I had the incredible experience of placing my new book, The Nerve to Heal, into the hands of participants at our Running with the Mind of Meditation retreat.
Twelve people. Twelve books. Each one tucked into a gift bag I’d carefully put together.
It was a small moment in some ways. But a huge one for me.
For nearly 20 years, I’ve worked with people one at a time, exploring pain, movement, and the patterns that keep us stuck.
And for the past few years, I’ve been pouring what I’ve learned into a book.
Writing it. Questioning it. Revising it. And eventually finding the courage to put it out into the world.
At the retreat, something shifted. The ideas I’d been carrying for so long were no longer just mine. They were in someone else’s hands.
And this Wednesday, October 14, The Nerve to Heal officially launches! 🎉
It’s still a little surreal to think that something I’ve held so closely for so long is about to go out into the world. No longer mine to keep shaping and refining, but something that others will read, interpret, question, and hopefully find something of themselves in.
To all the authors, parents, artists, and creators out there- I think you know what I mean?!
There’s excitement, pride, vulnerability, and a little bit of here we go! all wrapped together.
And maybe that’s part of creating anything meaningful. Eventually, you have to let it go and see what becomes possible. ☀️
P.S. I’d love your help giving this book a strong start! If you’re planning to buy a copy, purchasing on Wednesday, October 14, will help concentrate sales and give us a shot at Amazon bestseller status. And I’d love for you to join my free, live online book launch celebration and guided experience- even if you can only pop in for part of it!
