She's Ready. So Am I.
If you read last week’s post — the one about circling, and grief, and painting turbulence in the water — you already know this book has been living in me a long time.
This week she stepped out into the world.
Rewilding Yourself: A Wilderness Journey Back to Who You Actually Are is available for pre-order now. And I’ll be honest — writing that sentence still makes me catch my breath a little.
This isn’t a self-help book. It’s an actual journey, with terrain to traverse, fire to sit beside, and parts of yourself to meet along the way. For women who sense there is more — more aliveness, more authenticity, more of themselves — waiting beneath the noise of everyday life.
If you’ve been reading along this summer — the retreat, the grief, the circling — you already know this territory. This book is for you.
I’ll be your guide. We’ll move through a sun-warmed high desert forest, sit beside a still and reflective pond, wade the swamp of sadness, go down into the canyon of things unsaid — until we reach the mystic mountain, and finally, the Council Fire, where we gather with other women before the journey becomes your own to carry forward.
Here’s what two of my early readers said:
“I felt held and safe in the hands of an experienced guide overflowing with compassion hard won — and who wishes to share that with others by walking beside them with full presence.” — Mary
“Wonderful. A woman’s journey into the wild, filled with wisdom along with sweetness. A yummy tasty honey along with the wisdom of the bees that from the hive. Together weaving a tapestry of love and care for inner exploration.” — Barb
Pre-orders help more readers find the book when it launches — so if you’ve been sitting on the fence, this is the moment. Pre-order now and your copy makes the journey to you on release day — October 7th, 2026. One less thing to remember.
You can order through Bookshop or Amazon — whichever you prefer. Just two clicks away. Order here.
If you’re new here and this feels like your kind of place — welcome. Stay a while.
If there’s someone you know that might enjoy this too, please share Staying Wild, Being Free — Brushstrokes, Breakthroughs and the Beauty of Being Human
There is something deeply moving about watching a long-carried vision finally step beyond its creator and enter the world.
What makes this invitation compelling is that you do not promise an easy route. There is a swamp of sadness, a canyon of things unsaid, and difficult terrain to cross—but there is also warmth, reflection, a mountain, and a Council Fire waiting farther along. That feels honest and hopeful at the same time.
Mary’s description of being guided with “compassion hard won” may be the book’s strongest recommendation. It suggests that readers will be accompanied by someone who knows the landscape through lived experience rather than theory alone.
Congratulations on releasing what you have carried for so long. The book is ready, you are ready, and somewhere a reader may be discovering that she is ready too.
