💜 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 as I write stories that nurture the heart and lead an organization that brings those stories to life. I believe we must gently heal the wounds we carry from childhood and do our best to prevent those same wounds in the children we love and serve. Emily Maroutian wrote, “Look at your wounds. When you learn how to heal them, teach others.” This quote reflects both my mission and the work I carry forward. This truth continues to guide my purpose 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. Through honest conversation and emotional awareness, we work to break cycles of dysfunction, trauma, and abuse. 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 strong emotional connections that last a lifetime. 🌱💫
