Your brain and body aren’t broken—they’re trying to protect you.
From the outside, life may look fine. But inside? It’s chaos. You blow up when you don’t mean to, shut down when you need to step up, or feel so drained and overwhelmed that it’s hard to feel anything at all. Maybe you’ve told yourself it’s just who you are. Or worse, that nothing will ever change.
But what if these reactions weren’t your fault? What if they were signs of your body and brain doing exactly what they’re designed to do—keep you alive?
In this eye-opening and compassionate guide, licensed professional counselor Esther Perry unpacks the science of survival—how your nervous system reacts to protect you, even when it feels like it’s working against you. Through accessible insights and practical, evidence-based tools, you’ll learn how to decode your body’s signals, break free from the cycle of overwhelm, and rebuild a relationship with yourself based on understanding and trust.
It’s time to stop fighting your brain and body and start working with them.

New Release! https://amzn.to/3UfcwdZ

At 3a.m. one night during the quiet shade of the pandemic, a 17-year-old boy entered his parents’ bedroom to reveal a truth he’d been navigating alone for years. In his confession, he not only came out as gay, but also conveyed the depths of the mental health struggles he’d been battling as a result of conflicting messaging he’d endured in the religious institution in which he'd been raised. Autumn McAlpin’s haunting literary memoir, But Jesus: A Conversation replays the various conversations that emerge during one family’s coming out story—interchanges with loved ones who lean in and those who pull away, the back-and-forth with various LDS church authorities, and the quiet (and not so quiet) pleas of a mother as she petitions the higher power she believes in—one who offers unconditional love and hope for all.

But Jesus: A Conversation takes us on a journey of a family deconstructing with the use of a compass and their conscience, and reconstructing with the salve that will help bind them most of all: love. With stunning cover art by J. Kirk Richards, this book is intended to offer an open shoulder for all families who find themselves at the intersection of the LDS and LGBTQ+ conflict, and for the loved ones trying to understand the complex choices they face. All proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to life-saving therapy programs for the LGBTQ+ community through 501c3 nonprofits Encircle and Flourish.

Abby Hegewald has mastered the art of pasting a smile onto her face. If you saw her on the street, you’d have no idea how hard it’s been to put on that smile since September 20, 2011. The day she lost her husband—and the father of her four children—to cancer.

But that day isn’t where Abby’s story begins, and it’s far from the end. In this fast-paced, real-as-you-can-get memoir, she shares the ups and downs of their relationship, a life jarred by cancer, and the sometimes excruciating world of surviving on her own.

Laced with humor and hope, Just Smile weaves together the complexity of a life that ended too soon with threads of faith, family, and community. Ultimately it’s a reminder that sometimes the way to handle hard things is to smile through them.
