It’s finally happening… I’m writing a book! 📖✨
Earlier this year, I began work on my book Be Both: From Blue Light to True Light - which is a guide on how to take back your life in a screen-obsessed world, with a goal of publishing in Spring of 2026.
This project has been a dream of mine for years, but it’s also the most personal work I’ve ever created. Inside, I share my own story - from being adopted, to facing addiction, to navigating digital challenges that nearly anyone can relate to, such as doom scrolling, social media content upkeep, and the constant need to immediately respond to every text and email. I’m vulnerable and honest about the ups, downs, and the messy middle that shaped me.
Be Both blends my personal journey with my research and experience, and is written to remind you that you are not a profile picture or a highlight reel. You are a full human being - messy, magnificent, and multidimensional. This is a book about embracing that truth. It’s about learning to be all of who you are - even the parts that seem to contradict each other - and using that integration as your superpower. It’s written directly to Gen Z and Gen Alpha, helping them understand why they might feel anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed, and also speaks to parents, educators, and mentors, and provides tools to guide and support the young people they love.
Over the next few months, I’ll be sharing pieces of this journey - lessons learned, behind-the-scenes writing milestones, excerpts from the book, and the incredible conversations I’m having with people about the impact of our digital world.
And I’d love your help!

If you know someone who has been deeply affected by social media or screen overuse - or who has found creative ways to break free from the overwhelm - I’d love to hear their story. Those conversations are already shaping this book into something bigger than myself.
Thank you for your support - here’s to the ups, downs, and everything in between on this journey to bring Be Both into the world!
