🌿Building Resilience, Fostering Growth, Empowering Lives
💜 The Heart Behind Resilient Reads
Born from my own healing journey, this is my why — rooted in love, healing, and hope.
My passions have come full circle, from writing stories that nurture the heart to founding an organization that brings those stories to life. I often reflect on life’s most fundamental questions: Why was I born? Why am I here? For me, the answer lies in healing the foundation of society, which begins with our children.
Emily Maroutian once said, “If you want to know where to find your contribution to the world, look at your wounds. When you learn how to heal them, teach others.” This truth continues to guide my mission to help children and families heal, grow, and thrive.
Resilient Reads and Healing the Roots Foundation were created to open communication between parents, children, and the people who care about them — breaking cycles of dysfunction, trauma, and abuse through honest conversation and emotional awareness. A simple conversation can protect and strengthen the fragile roots of a child before they are ever broken.
Self-regulation is an essential skill. When we learn to manage our emotions and communicate with understanding, we become the best version of ourselves. My books and e-learning courses are designed as shared experiences between children and the people who care about them, helping both learn and grow together while building stronger emotional connections that last a lifetime. 🌱💫
