The first time one of my book proposals was accepted, it took two years to get there. And then another year — because I still had to write the book. The second time, I’ll be honest — I was in a spiritual crisis. I didn’t fully know how to land my voice. I didn’t know how to stand in what I believed. I was asking questions like: Can I be a Christian and write about chakras? What does that even mean? Where do I actually stand? Those are heart-based questions, not marketing ones. And they matter. T
