About the Book

In a world that glorifies speed, independence, and achievement, I Stayed invites a return to show how the simple, radical act of staying - with your children, with your truth, and with yourself - can heal generations.

I Stayed is part memoir, part guide, and part sacred invitation. It explores why staying present with our children during their early years not only creates lifelong emotional connection, but also brings more fulfillment and ease for mothers in the long run.

Blending personal story with feminine embodiment, and spiritual practice, this books shows that presence is the new power - in parenting, in love, and in life.

Author’s Note

When I became a mother, I vowed to give my children what I longed for most — presence. But as I began to stay with them, I realized the deeper invitation was to stay with myself. I Stayed was born from that sacred remembering — that our wholeness, our healing, and our feminine power begin when we no longer abandon the one within.
