The Story Behind the Story: Pressure Made

​

We spend so much time showing the world the "shimmer," but we rarely talk about the heat it took to get there. For the last three years, I’ve been quiet, sitting with my pen and my soul, documenting a journey that spans over two decades. I’m finally peeling back the layers on the years that defined my 20s, tested my 30s, and birthed the woman I am today in my 40s.

​

Pressure Made is my confession.

​

I’m getting honest, like, really honest about the mistakes I’ve made and the pressure I sometimes brought on myself. I'm talking about:

• The Weight of Expectations: The heavy load of trying to be everything to everyone, parents, peers, and a world that always wants more.

• The Divine Test: The seasons where the pressure felt like a test from God, a refining fire for my will and my purpose.

• The Quiet Battles: The journeys of loss that left me breathless, the messy work of healing, and the terrifying beauty of starting over from scratch.

​

I’ve realized that the world, the media, and even the people we love can put so much on us, but there is a specific kind of strength that only comes when you're caught between a rock and a hard place.

​

I’m sharing my self-reflections not because I have it all figured out, but because I know what it’s like to feel immense pressure. I want you to see that every tear, every "oops," and every "God, why me?" was just part of the process of producing a diamond.

​

My first memoir, Pressure Made, is coming June 2026.

It’s raw. It’s vulnerable. It’s me. And I’m so ready to share it with you!
