Vulgar Vulnerability
Today I launched my book, Blurred Lines and Soul Ties. This is the most vulnerable I have ever let myself be… raw, unpolished, and entirely human. One of my favorite lines in the book is: “This isn’t Barbie. It’s real life. Behind all our disguises. A story of how God heals all. And humans are imperfect.” It gives me chills.
I knew I was always meant to share my story… I just didn’t know it would start this soon. It’s monsoon season in Arizona. Last night I watched the wind whip through the land, thunder rumble, and lightning strike. How fitting. As heard in Lion King, “When the earth rumbles, destiny is near.” Releasing my uncensored story into the world, self-published and unannounced, is a large feat. My nervous system has made me question if this is something I’m ready for. But my soul screams yes. God’s plan. Always, in all ways.
If Blurred Lines and Soul Ties can touch even one soul, inspire them, or make them feel less alone, then it’s done its job. I fit the most pronounced and critical turning moments of my life from these past seven years into this book… and most of them weren’t pretty. The easy route would be to move on in peace and let it go. But I refuse to be another silent story that gets buried away for comfort. I’m here to be loud. And this is a start.
This is a line in the sand I’m willing to draw — and stand by — no matter how much it shakes me. I love the human experience, even the darkness. It’s taught me so much. And now it’s my turn to be vulgarly vulnerable. It’s time to speak what stays unspoken and share what others try to silence.
This is my Hollywood story.
