  • To actively and intentionally choose rest is to respect yourself. 

To respect your body and your mind. To fully live in the gift of the present.

A scenic road-trip from Helsinki took @shekasgram and I deep into the lush countryside to witness the amazing estate that is our dear friend @katjapresnal’s beautiful canvas @presnaldairy - a former 125+ year old dairy farm 🤍🩵💙

Beyond relaxation that comes with proximity to nature, staying at the property overwhelmed me with joy. Over salmon smoked on a grill for dinner and piping hot homemade buttermilk biscuits for breakfast made by @mattpresnal, staying at @presnaldairy was the mental and emotional reset I needed.

To rest is to love yourself. To rest is to reconnect and deepen friendships.

To rest is sacred. 

Thank you @shekasgram and @katjapresnal for reminding me of this ❤️

Follow @presnaldairy and witness its renovation as it transforms into one of Finland’s treasures.

  • On this day a year ago May 17, 2025, you all helped celebrate @bitterhoneybook in the UK (published by @headofzeus). 

The hard work, the toil, the fight to bring this deeply profound book into the hands of dear readers worldwide and give it the energy it deserved 💙🧡🎉

The beautiful last leg of the relay…

I remain forever grateful to all the book influencers, book clubs, avid readers, and loyal supporters who continue to champion my books at the grassroots level. 

Who keep showing up and creating space, recommending, and reviewing this book 💙🧡 

Who have made me their auto-buy author 🥹

Who keep engaging with my characters as if they are real people. The best compliment 🥰

Who keep expressing their dire frustration that my books aren’t read more widely 🙏🏽 I hear you. The path is often harder when the purpose is higher.

Who keep showing up… My next book is next level and I can’t wait for you all to read it in due time 🌎 

I see every single one of you and deeply appreciate you 💙🧡

To my lovely UK editor @sophwhitehead and incredible agent @craig_literary who have both been by my side since day one starting with @ineverymirror, thank you! 💞

Thank you to the book influencers, booksellers, clubs, and book communities… the true backbone of the entire publishing industry 💪🏾🔥
