Survival kept me alive. Purpose is what made me a warrior.
I write for the women who have carried more than they should, stayed longer than they wanted, and still — somehow — kept going.
Toni Peters, Founder of Warrior Storytellers
Why i write
I write because story is a way home.
When you tell the truth about what you’ve survived — out loud, on the page, to someone who gets it — something shifts. It stops running you. My work is for the men and women learning to trust themselves again, rising slowly, in their own time.
Memoir, teaching, a four-stage framework for healing. All of it built on one belief: it’s never too late to become the person you were meant to be.
The framework
I didn’t set out to build a framework. I found one — looking back at my own story, and the stories of other women, and seeing the same four stages show up again and again.
Burning in the Fire. The Ashes. The Embers. Called Warrior.
It’s not a program or a timeline. It’s a map for the slow work of becoming — one that trusts your pace instead of rushing it. You don’t graduate from one stage to the next. You move through them in your own time, and sometimes more than once.
The book
My memoir is the story of a life burned to the ground. And the woman who walked out of the ashes.
It’s about losing yourself all the way down — and finding out the fire didn’t take who you were. It showed you who you were becoming.
What readers will find
A memoir that doesn’t look away. Stories of women who survived what should have broken them. A four-stage map for finding your way through your own fire — from the burning, through the ashes, to the moment you realize you’re still standing.
Not a fix. Not a formula. A companion for the woman who is ready to become who she was always meant to be.
Moments of breaking.
Moments of becoming.
What others are saying
You have found words to describe things that I have felt but could never articulate.

I Am Called Warrior
Publication scheduled for January 2028
A memoir about rising through what tried to break you — slowly, painfully, and on your own terms.
It’s about the years you don’t post on Instagram. The years when everything you thought you were supposed to be collapses, and you’re left sifting through the ashes, trying to understand what was yours and what was never meant for you.
It’s the story of every woman who has walked out of a life she no longer recognized — not as who she’d been, but as who the fire revealed she was becoming.
Warriors Among Us
My story is one story. It was never meant to be the only one.
Warriors Among Us is what comes next — a growing community of women and men who survived something that tried to take who they were, and are still here. Still standing. Still becoming.
Every warrior has a story. The next one we tell might be yours.
