Have you ever paused and really noticed a moment—the subtle hum of awareness in your mind, the small gestures of life unfolding around you, or a fleeting connection

that lingers long after it’s over? That’s the kind of life I explore in my new book, The Inner Life of a Curious Mind.

This collection of intimate, journal-style essays is about more than reflection—it’s about presence. It’s about being fully awake to the ordinary and extraordinary moments that make up our days. From conversations that leave a quiet echo in your mind, to the tiny rituals of love and care with those around you (even our beloved pets), each entry invites readers to slow down, notice, and engage with life thoughtfully.

In writing this book, I aimed to capture what it feels like to live with curiosity, authenticity, and emotional awareness. These essays don’t prescribe how to live—they simply share a lived experience, exploring themes of autonomy, reflection, and the gentle art of being present.

Whether you’re looking to savor life’s small joys, embrace curiosity without judgment, or simply appreciate the beauty in everyday moments, The Inner Life of a Curious Mind offers a pause—a chance to reflect alongside someone who finds meaning in noticing.

Stay tuned for excerpts, reflections, and behind-the-scenes thoughts from my writing journey. I can’t wait to share these moments with you.
