Navigating the journey through divorce is never easy. The path is filled with uncertainty, emotional turbulence, and self-discovery. I found purpose in sharing my experiences, insights, and advice through my blog and podcast, “Grab Your Light”, dedicated to navigating divorce. Today, I am thrilled to announce the culmination of this journey in the form of a book, a comprehensive guide that encapsulates all of the wisdom gained from the trials and triumphs of my own divorce journey.

The inspiration behind my book, blog, and podcast came from a deeply personal place. Navigating divorce as a black, millennial woman presented unique challenges and opportunities for growth. Our journey is often filled with stereotypes, additional judgment, and a little less (financial or familial) stability. As I embraced the lessons learned along the way, I felt a calling to create a space where others could find support and guidance during their own divorce journeys.

One of the driving forces behind this endeavor was the desire to consolidate my advice into a single, cohesive platform. The blog became the canvas for me to paint my experiences, providing a medium through which I could connect with others going through similar struggles. It was a therapeutic outlet for me and, at the same time, a source of empowerment for those looking for a voice that resonated with their own experiences.

The journey from blog to book was a natural evolution that mirrored my own stages of healing and growth. After establishing the blog, I recognized the need for a diverse range of content to cater to different preferences and lifestyles. This led to the creation of a social media community (on Instagram and Facebook), providing bite-sized, easily digestible advice for those on the go.

As the community grew, so did the demand for audio content. This prompted the inception of the podcast, allowing me to delve deeper into topics, share interviews, and offer a more personal connection with my audience. The podcast became a powerful platform for storytelling.

Now, as I stand on the precipice of a new chapter in my life—preparing to marry by boyfriend (now fiancé) of 1.5 years —I am overjoyed to introduce my book. This comprehensive guide is a culmination of the collective wisdom garnered from my experiences, conversations with my community, and the insights shared on my blog and podcast.

The book is a roadmap for those seeking guidance through the challenging terrain of divorce. It combines personal anecdotes, practical advice, and the strength of a supportive community to provide a holistic approach to healing and growth. Each chapter reflects a different facet of the divorce journey, offering not just solace, but also a guide towards rediscovery and second chances.

As I reflect on the evolution from blog to book, I am reminded of the power of God, the resilience of the human spirit, and the transformative nature of sharing our stories. My hope is that this book serves as a beacon of light for those navigating divorce, a testament to the strength that emerges from adversity, and a guide for embracing the possibilities that come with new beginnings.
