📕 E-book, paperback, and audiobook are yours
I know you have been waiting for this moment, but so have I 😜 . . . Holding a physical copy of a book with my name as the sole author has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager.
I never thought it would be poetry I would be publishing first and as a series, but life has an interesting way of leading us down the roads we are meant to go on. And, the audiobook, across 38 platforms, will be available on 30th November. How exciting for us all.

On Writing and the Journey of Authenticity
Poetry is my natural form of writing. It is the way I think, feel, express, and process the world around me and my emotions. Poetry in Eden offers healing through a unique form of alchemy because my process of writing is exactly that.
Maybe I am feeling exuberant on a sunny day, and the sunlight hits my face, warming my skin and my soul. It is then I write a poem.
Maybe I am processing the loss of a loved one, and a tree and its leaves whisper to me something ancient. It is then I write a poem.
Maybe a friend says something simple, but full of passion. Their eyes are bright and their tone is exact. It is then I write a poem.
I gather inspiration from the simple moments in life. It is here I experience epiphanies, gratitude, and euphoria. It is here I can share and understand the complexity of being human, and our search for meaning.
This week’s Poetry in Eden podcast episode is on writing and publishing, so do check it out.
From newsletter, to Podcast, to Book
Poetry in Eden is now the title of this newsletter, a podcast with multiple guest interviews on Spotify and Apple, and now the first book in a series.
When I left my long path from Ivy league to over a decade in Finance (Goldman Sachs) and Tech (Google), I knew I would focus my time on writing, but I also knew I would use my intuition and my heart to guide me.
It led me to creating Poetry in Eden, the podcast, as a way to share my voice and my message in a different way. It is now one of my favourite formats for sharing my mission. And it led me to finally publish Poetry in Eden, the first book of its series.
