When I wrote An Invitation to Shine: From Invisible to Invincible, I told my story. The messy parts. The dissolving. The places where I stopped performing and started living differently.
What I didn’t expect was how many of you would say, “That’s my story too.”
So I’m opening something new.
I’m inviting readers — and anyone who feels called — to share a personal story using the same three-part arc that shaped the book:
Forgetting what you learned.
Remembering what you had forgotten.
And how that changed the way you live and think.
This isn’t about being a writer. It’s about being honest. It’s about naming where you were invisible, what cracked open, and what feels different now.
Selected stories will be gathered into a companion collection expanding the original work. Different voices. Different lives. The same arc of becoming.
