The Journey to the Right Title
When I first started writing this memoir, I went through several working titles—Decide To Matter, Navigating Towards Your Darkness, and If The Eyes Could Speak Would You Listen. Later, I thought Second-Guessing captured my journey of overcoming self-doubt. But as I continued to refine my story, it became clear that something deeper was missing.
That’s when I found Gripped: Releasing Fear to Discover My Voice. It truly reflects what this memoir is about—facing the fears that have held me back for so long and finally letting them go. This title feels like the perfect expression of my journey, and I’m excited to share this story with you.
Thank you for following along as this memoir takes shape. It’s been a process of not just writing, but truly understanding what I want to say, and I believe this title embodies that message perfectly.
Thank You for Helping Me Choose the Cover for Gripped: Releasing Fear to Discover My Voice
I’m excited to reveal the final cover for Gripped: Releasing Fear to Discover My Voice. Your support and feedback helped guide me in this decision, and I’m thrilled with how it captures the spirit of my story.
The bird’s shadow and open cage reflect the themes of freedom and release that define my memoir, but I hope each reader finds their own connection to this imagery as they reflect on their personal journey.
For me, the open cage symbolizes letting go of the fears that once held me back, while the bird’s shadow represents the strength and potential I discovered through this process.
Thank you again for being part of this journey. I can’t wait for you to experience the full story when Gripped is released on April 4, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates.
