The Light in You
Deep within all of us is something so much greater than what we can see.
It’s an inner Light that’s so infinite and expansive, it reminds us that everything we’ll ever need to navigate this journey of life is within us already. Discover and connect with your own Light, your own magic, and be reminded that you are already enough and loved exactly as you are.

How the book came to life
In January 2023, I had one of those sleepless nights where the first line of a children's book I've been longing to write came "through" me, Elizabeth Gilbert Big Magic-style. I stayed up until dawn writing the first draft of the story.
I immediately knew I wanted my college friend Katie Rodgers to illustrate it and bring my words to life. Over the next two years, we poured our hearts and souls into this collaboration, and we finally finished the book a few weeks before I gave birth to our baby boy last year. Katie joked that I would give birth to a baby and this book at the same time and she was right!
This book is an offering, a devotion, to children (and adults!) everywhere as a reminder that our inner Light is who we truly are so everything we need is within us already.
We are already home.

"The Light in You is a breathtaking journey of affirmations.
Every parent understands the deeply-rooted wish to protect their babes. Not just physical protection, but emotional and spiritual protection as well. Preserving their unabashed curiosity, their bold adventurousness, and their wise intuition is all part of the role we play as their chosen shepherds.
Each page is a beautiful step in that journey, with words that remind our inner children of these truths. The illustrations are otherworldly; full of ethereal color and dreamy characters. There are books we reach to night after night because we, as adults, need to hear the messaging as much as our children do. This is one of those books.
I hope my kids never lose the tether to their magic, and I wish I had books like this to remind me of mine when I was a kid."

"The illustrations are vibrant and ethereal, beautifully complementing the book’s message. The use of warm colors and soft textures creates a sense of comfort and wonder, immersing children in the story and allowing them to engage with it.
The Light in You shares a beautiful message — that every person carries a “Light” within them, a source of love, freedom, and self-worth, that can shine brightly even in difficult times.
