"Dreaming In the Real" Manuscript episode list and how to get started
Reading time: 2 minutes
I am excited to share my memoir Dreaming In the Real: How Love From the Earth Set Me Free. In this work in progress, I share how immersing deeply in the natural world while preparing vibrational essences offered a pathway to insight and healing after my adult life crumbled in a delayed response to unaddressed trauma and childhood adversity. The story is a memoir, field guide, and transformational non-fiction. Join me as we uncover the transformative power of nature together!
Chapters are released biweekly. The episode list is updated accordingly.

Section One: Digging Through the Rubble
This first section delves into my history, focusing on experiences of neglect and abuse, one after the other. It is crucial to comprehend how persistent neglect and even mild trauma over an extended period can overwhelm an individual's emotional well-being, particularly those who are highly sensitive. By shedding light on how our past experiences shape our present lives, I aim to provide insight into how we can reshape the narratives influencing us.

Section Two: Mother Earth and Me
Please join me in this second section, where I immersed myself in the natural world while creating vibrational essences. Nature provided the love, support, and guidance I needed to reframe the past. During this time, I encountered nature spirits, ancestors, and star beings, which revealed a deep connection between humans and the unseen benevolent forces of the natural world that exist beyond our everyday awareness. I'm thrilled to share my experience, portraying how an intimate relationship with the natural world is available to all of us!
