May is Mental Health Awareness Month—and this year, it hits different.

As a chef, a mother, and a woman who’s survived more than I’ve ever said out loud, I’ve learned that healing doesn’t always look like a therapy session or a green smoothie.
Sometimes healing looks like writing your story.
Sometimes it looks like crying in the kitchen between meal preps.
Sometimes it looks like walking away, closing a door, and choosing yourself.

I wrote Close My Door to finally speak the truth I’d been holding inside for years.
This memoir is for every woman who’s ever cried behind a closed door, kept going anyway, and never got the credit.
It’s for those of us who show up for everybody—even when we’re empty.

Mental health matters. Your story matters. And you deserve peace, too.

My book is now live on Amazon—and I hope it finds your heart when you need it most.
