Gratitude with Grace: Finding Happiness is a deeply personal and heartfelt guide to self-love, healing, and spiritual transformation, drawing on your own life to share your hardships, healing, and growth with readers, providing them with a roadmap to find joy in their own lives. Why was this an important book for you to write?

At one of the lowest points in my life, I felt hollow, weighed down by depression, anxiety, and stress. Therapy was not helping, and I was desperate for relief. One day, a song on the radio instantly lifted me. Soon after, I watched a YouTube video about do-it-yourself crafts that sparked a brand new hobby and reignited my creativity. Those two moments opened a door to the spiritual side I had sensed since childhood when the jingle of my mother’s keys told me she was near. As I reconnected with that intuition, I realized I am an intuitive psychic whose path is to inspire others. If I could climb out of that darkness, maybe my experience could guide someone else. The words poured onto the screen, and each time I paused, I heard the same inner nudge. Keep writing. A lightbulb moment sparked it all, and this book was born from that.

I appreciated the candid nature with which you told your story. What was the hardest thing for you to write about?

Reliving the season when I had to hire a lawyer to protect my home was a painful experience. I was juggling sleepless nights, a second job, and a level of anxiety that felt like rock bottom. One day, I broke down and had a heart-to-heart talk with God, which I mention in the book. A few weeks later, at my second job, small blessings began to appear, and something was said to me that made it clear heaven had been listening the whole time. Again, read the book to find out exactly what happened.

Facing my inner self and accepting that I was psychic was also tricky. That word still felt taboo. However, with the rise of new-age spirituality, I found the strength to face my fears. Because with God, all things are possible.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

Women are often taught to stay quiet or, in other words, to be people pleasers. The message is to be seen and not heard, the same thing you might tell a child. History shows how hard we fought for the right to vote and even to hold a credit card in our names, and in many countries today, women are still oppressed. Yet we rise and speak, just as Malala Yousafzai did because, at the end of the day, we want education, equal pay, and the freedom to choose the life we live. We can achieve that through the power of our voices and by learning to say no, saying no means refusing to remain in a relationship that no longer serves us or a job that diminishes our worth. When we claim our voices, we discover our true strength and inspire others to do the same.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Gratitude with Grace?

I hope each reader finishes the book feeling hopeful and empowered. The divine is always near, guiding through intuition and synchronicity, whether it is a missed bus that leads to a chance meeting or a melody that lifts the heart. Small choices, such as turning up a favorite song, trying meditation, or picking up a joyful hobby, are baby steps that can create lasting change. There is always a bright side. Sometimes, you need to look at things from a new angle.

What are you working on now, and what can readers look forward to next?

I’m thrilled about my debut novel, The Whimsical Gifts of Emma, coming out this September. It’s a fourth-wall-breaking urban fantasy with a twist. If you love The Good Witch meets Deadpool/Clarissa Explains It All, you’ll be spellbound by this enchanting story full of slow-burn romance, magic, and mystery.
