I am Nora Sophia, the woman who had to Google "what do people do when they fall?" because I had become so indispensable to everyone else that I forgot how to be human to myself.
I am the voice of every person who has been praised for their resilience while dying inside from the lack of self care. The voice of every leader who has been celebrated for never breaking while forgetting to wonder about self empathy they might be missing .
The journey now is not about overcoming anything more. It is about learning to come home to yourself—not as the woman who could achieve anything, but as the person who deserves to feel everything.
The Moment Everything Changed
I was lying on my bedroom floor, genuinely hurt, and instead of calling to my partner sitting one room away, I pulled out my phone and googled: "What do people do when they fall?"
Because apparently, I had become so extraordinary at taking care of everyone else that I had to research how to be human.
That moment became the catalyst for a journey from hypervigilance to wholeness, from people-pleasing to authentic presence, from surviving to truly living. This is that story—and an invitation for you to begin your own journey home to yourself. This is the moment that your birthday’s don’t become just another year of life. Birthday’s are every time you choose to breathe life into yourself, your authentic self.

For a more harmonious world
This is for you if you’ve ever…
✨ Been the person everyone calls when life falls apart
✨ Said yes when you meant no to avoid disappointing someone
✨ Confused being needed with being loved
✨ Led from wounds instead of wisdom
✨ Given from emptiness rather than overflow
✨ Forgotten that your needs matter too
You're not broken. You're brilliant. You just learned survival strategies that no longer serve the life you're ready to live.
What You’ll Discover…
The Sacred Distinctions:
Servanthood vs. Servant Leadership - The difference between giving from emptiness and pouring from overflow
Being Helpful vs. Being Indispensable - How to serve without suffocating yourself
Love That Serves vs. Love That Suffocates - Creating space for others to grow while honoring your own needs
The Questions That Change Everything: What am I telling myself about this situation? What would I like? Can I be helpful but not own the outcome?
The Promise: Learning that you can breathe life into yourself while still showing up powerfully for others.
More than a book—a movement!
Learning to Breathe is available now in paperback and Kindle, with audiobook coming soon. But this journey doesn't end when you close the book.
Join the community with swag that reminds you daily: "Your Turn to Breathe," "I Will Never Abandon Myself," and "The Sacred Word of No."
Because sometimes we need gentle reminders that we're allowed to take up space in our own lives.
Available on site at book signing events or by custom orders
Your Turn to Breathe
-
First things first, don't be nervous. Give yourself grace & realize this is a new intentional gift to yourself.
-
Where do you feel like you need it the most? Is it in learning to say “no”? Maybe it’s in creating time just for you, wherever you begin, just keep going!
-
Recognize the spaces that have been uncomfortable, the places where you’ve had to be “on” rather than simply and beautifully YOU. Then tiptoe in, but don’t stop!
