Finding Peace in the Pieces.. and Light in the Wreckage
If you’ve held yourself together while everything was falling apart…if you’ve walked through days no one saw, carried burdens no one noticed, and survived storms that changed you forever— this is the book for you. This isn’t a book of quick fixes or hollow, toxic positivity. It’s a soft place to land. A companion for those tender moments when the world grows quiet and the weight of it all feels like too much.
In After the Shadows, Lisa strips away the layers of performance, perfection, and pain to reveal something raw and real: The truth of who you are beneath what the world told you to be. Through unfiltered poetry, soul-deep reflections, mantras, and moments of both collapse and becoming, she offers gentle company for the journey—whether you’re just beginning, deep in the work, or catching your breath after surviving what almost broke you.
This is for the ones who’ve carried too much for too long. For the ones still learning how to rest, how to say no, and how to exist without apology. It’s for anyone ready to stop performing, to trust their own fire, and to walk themselves back home.
You are not the darkness they left you in. You are the spark that held on and the fire that rises from the ash.
