The Sovereign

Volume 2

Real and raw stories of survival, self-love and rising.

"From the Mouth of a Woman"

In my chapter, I share the raw truth of how my voice was silenced by disempowering systems, toxic people, burnout, and betrayal; and how I am healing and reclaiming sovereignty - with gentleness, resistance, boldness, and grace -sometimes all at once.​

Reclaiming My Brain: Breaking Up with SSRIs

"Like many, I started SSRIs in my twenties. No one asked about my sleep, my diet, my relationships, or the trauma I carried quietly in my body. There were no scans, no tests – only a story dressed up as science: the chemical imbalance theory."

BOOK

"I just finished Sarah’s chapter of the book. I wish to acknowledge and applaud her for her courage, strength and sovereignty. The experiences she recounts are unfathomable . . .  My fave line in the chapter is "exhaling deeply for the first time in a long time, her shoulders relaxed.” I too am longing to relax my shoulders someday."

- Elisabeth Michienzi

NOW OFFERING

Private 1:1 Writing & Reflection Containers

Write to Heal is a private, one-to-one writing and reflection container for women who feel something ready to be expressed — but don’t want to rush or perform.

This is not therapy. - although it is therapeutic.
It’s not a writing class.
It’s not coaching in the traditional sense.

It is a held, relational space where writing becomes a way to listen, soften, and integrate what has been carried — sometimes for years.
