You are not alone.

Performance Anxiety is my story—but it might echo pieces of yours. For years, I lived in silence, carrying the weight of trauma I didn’t ask for and shame I didn’t deserve. I hid behind perfectionism and performance, trying to earn the love and approval I thought would make me whole. But pain has a way of leaking out—through anxiety, control, anger, or exhaustion—and eventually, something had to break.

This book is about what happened when I finally found the courage to speak. It’s about healing, hope, and learning to believe that freedom is not only possible—it’s meant for you, too. Whether your wounds are old or fresh, loud or hidden, I pray these pages give you space to breathe, to feel seen, and to begin your own journey toward freedom.

You don’t have to stay in the dark. Let’s step into the light—together.

Hey, friend. I’m so glad you’re here.

Deep Water is a gentle invitation into the sacredness of ordinary life. Through stories of parenting, marriage, friendship, and faith, I share how God meets us in the small, quiet corners of our days—in the questions, the stillness, and the shifting seasons of our souls. From the early morning hush with a warm mug in hand to the chaos and beauty of real life, this book is a reflection on encountering grace in unexpected places.

Rooted in a journey that has taken me from Calvinism to Anglicanism and into the richness of Roman Catholicism, this collection of reflections is for anyone who’s ever wondered if God is really present in the everyday. Spoiler alert: He is. And He’s closer than you think.

So come, pull up a chair. Let’s explore the deep water together.
