One of the highlights of my week was being featured as the High-Profile cover story in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. 📰
I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way. But even with that milestone, what stayed with me the most this week was a deeper conversation I had on my latest podcast. 🎙️
I had the opportunity to sit down with Dasya Zuccarello from Hohm Press, and we talked not just about the book, but about the journey behind it. What many people don’t see is the reality that before this partnership ever happened, I was turned down by over 100 agents. That’s a lot of “no’s.” But sometimes those “no’s” are necessary to align you with the right “yes.”
When I connected with Hohm Press, it felt different. Not only was it about publishing my first book, but it was about purpose. They focus on healing, spirituality, parenting, and meaningful work. Alignment was important to me, because Oh Brother, My Brother was never meant just to entertain. It was created to make an impact. ❤️📖
During our conversation, something really stood out to me. So many books today are designed for quick consumption, for entertainment. However, Oh Brother, My Brother is about something deeper. It’s about helping families navigate real-life challenges, blended families, emotional connection, childhood trauma, and the importance of being present as parents. It’s about giving children language for their emotions and giving parents space to reflect and heal, too.
That’s what made another part of the conversation hit even harder. Dasya shared his own experience of losing his father at a young age and how that absence shaped him, not just in childhood, but throughout his life. That kind of honesty is powerful because it reflects the reality for so many families today. 💭
Whether it’s a blended family, a single-parent household, or even a two-parent home, unhealed experiences don’t just disappear. They show up in how we communicate, how we love, and how we lead. Too often, we pass those traumas down without even realizing it.
That’s why this book is for parents, too, because healing doesn’t start with them…it starts with us.
We’re living in a time where people are more connected than ever, but many families are still disconnected where it matters most—at home. Less conversation. Less presence. Less intentional connection. And that’s exactly what Oh Brother, My Brother was created to restore. 🤝
If you want to hear the full conversation and understand the deeper story behind this journey, I encourage you to watch the full podcast episode. 🎧
