Gripped: Releasing Fear to Find My Voice

What happens when fear takes hold of your life?
For years, Lourdes was gripped by fear and self-doubt, stuck in a cycle of second-guessing her every move. But as life unfolded, she came to a crossroads: change or remain trapped in the silence she had lived with for too long. Tired of doubting herself, she made the choice to release the expectations and criticism that had shaped her fears—and in doing so, she found her voice.

With honesty, courage, and resilience, Lourdes shares the moments that shaped her, the struggles that almost broke her, and the breakthroughs that set her free.

Gripped is a story of release—letting go of fear, shame, and the inner critic. It’s about uncovering strength, discovering purpose, and learning to trust yourself.

This memoir speaks to anyone who feels stuck or silenced, offering proof that change is possible at any stage of life. Letting go of fear can lead to clarity, confidence, and freedom.

Lourdes also talks about these topics on her podcast, Growing Older Together, where she explores how we can face our fears and push through life’s struggles.
