Gifts from the Heart of the Storm

Gifts from the heart of the storm: from constant overwhelm to healing and joy

It's time to love all our experiences, even the challenging ones, and set ourselves free.

Difficult emotions are not only a reaction to crisis and overwhelm, but also a natural part of life. Once we can fully embrace our emotions, they can help us transform into a more powerful version of ourselves.

This honest and heartfelt tale about a sudden raging storm takes the reader on the emotional journey that many parents with children who experience the world differently face on a regular basis.



We meet Charlie's raw emotions as she battles against the storm, explore together as she gains a different perspective through a chance encounter, and learn about genuine unconditional love along the way. Her insights give her clarity despite the chaos and she finds deeper ways to connect with her children as a result.

This compelling and beautifully illustrated story genuinely speaks to readers' hearts:

'Deeply moving'

'Brought a tear to my eye'

'Heartwarming and fascinating on so many levels'

The touching and tender approach demonstrates the incredible power of taking our own healing journey as a parent. It shows how embracing our emotions can liberate us to be there for our kids, whatever is going on in our own personal storm.
