break free
Break Free is a raw, unfiltered memoir of the beginning of my spiritual awakening — the highs, the struggles, and the unimaginable moments that shaped my path. This is for those who have ever felt out of place, ever wondered if there’s more.

Have you ever taken a moment, while sipping a morning cup of coffee, and wondered to yourself, what is the meaning of this short life I get to live?
Heather found herself asking this question every waking minute of the day. Her mom had a stroke on the day she moved into college, and she watched as everything she knew about the world began to change, with her powerless to stop it.
Now twenty-three years old, a photojournalist living across the country, Heather’s burnout, depression, and anxiety brought her to a grinding halt. In her little apartment in San Diego, California, she quickly found herself falling down a rabbit hole, facing all of the painful memories she had kept buried for years, overcoming fears, and discovering more about who she really is when she ripped away all of the identities she had clung to for so long.
She didn’t see the spiritual awakening coming. Thrust into a world beyond everything she had ever known, Heather begins a transformation that would change every facet of her life.
A spellbinding journey of self-love, spiritual growth, and rapid transformation, Break Free is a testament to how you can turn your darkest days into your brightest light, how nothing is as strong as a dream backed by courage, and most of all, the magic that exists when we finally stop to slow down and pay attention.
“At the end of my life, I don’t think I would ever look back and regret trying to fly. I think I would regret never finding out if the air can flow beneath my wings.”
