In this special episode, I’m stepping outside our usual conversation about confidence and body image to share something deeply personal: my daughter just published her first children’s book!
And while this episode is about my daughter’s story, it’s also about us.

Rosie Sparkle Fin: The Mermaid Who Found Her Sparkle With Type 1 Diabetes was born out of her real-life T1D diagnosis and her brave journey navigating a whole new world. This book isn’t just a story about a magical mermaid. It’s about what happens when a child finally sees themselves represented in the pages of a book, and how healing that can be.
