Peace. Pain. Presence.: A practice for balancing-with intention and grace-the tension between peace,

Peace. Pain. Presence. is not a manual. It's a mirror.

This quiet, honest book offers a compassionate framework for navigating the sacred tension between peace, pain, and presence-especially in life's most tender seasons. Written from lived experience, it invites readers to slow down, pay attention, and gently return to themselves-again and again.

In these pages, you won't find quick fixes or forced positivity. Instead, you'll find real stories, gentle practices, and deeply human reflections for anyone holding space for loss, caregiving, transition, or simply trying to show up in the world with more intention.

With clarity, grace, and grounded wisdom, Peace. Pain. Presence. offers:

• A framework for recognizing the tension between calm, discomfort, and awareness

• Practices to support balance without perfection

• Language for setting boundaries with love

• Permission to rest, feel, cry, and begin again

• Gentle tools for grief, connection, and letting go

This is a book for those walking through the ache of change. For those supporting someone they love. For those learning to stay present, even when it hurts.

Whether you're in the middle of it, coming out of it, or learning to carry what remains-this is a place to pause, breathe, and remember:

You don't have to hold it all.
You just have to keep returning.
