Know: Where the Status Quo Ends and You Come to Life is a Self-Help book that explores how we lose connection with our inner voice, how to regain it, and what life looks like when we do. Why was this an important book for you to write?

My aim to see all people thrive was at the heart of why I wrote the book. Observing how our world “works” felt off to me as a child and it was something I couldn’t shake. Eventually deeper levels of what holds us all stuck arrived and I continued to build on that pattern for twenty-two years sharing the beginning of what I learned in this current book. I have other books in the works to take this concept further for my reader. I knew articulating what is going on and why was most important in this book before I share how we each fully change it. My work takes repetition, it’s like learning a new language!

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

The hardest thing to write about were the personal examples I shared. I wanted to be honest and fair in each situation when some of them were highly emotional for me. However, I feel I achieved my goal. Writing about these hard things I feel also made me a stronger writer.

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

The evolution of what’s holding us back to what’s possible through memorable story examples. As well as narcissism is collapsible and might not be what we’ve believed it was and that natural equality is the outcome of collapsing narcissism.

What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your story?

The one thing I want for the reader to take away from the book is to feel understood. This is the first tenant in healing oneself from what I term “The Model” or the control we assert to scrap for a shred of “perceived” love (cathexis) or a place in the hierarchy. What we’ve been silently living is agreed upon “dominance”. That’s over and now we’re headed toward expansion which in my work is us free of pain points because natural equality leads, which means we’re emotionally mature and in a powerful neutral within. Put another way emotion will be perceived quite differently in the future and beyond The Model.
