Funny how the chapters we once wanted to hide become the very ones that help someone else heal. 🌱

Hearing that Enough with the Secrets, Mama! had offered hope, courage, and proof that joy is still possible after life’s hardest seasons is… humbling.

If you’ve ever needed a reminder that healing is real, this book is for you.

Have you read it yet?

Apparently, you thought you were picking up a memoir… but ended up buying a front-row ticket to an emotional roller coaster. 😅

Nothing humbles me more than hearing readers laughed, cried, and reflected with my story.

Because sometimes the most powerful stories aren’t the ones that entertain us… they’re the ones that remind us we’re not alone. 🫶🏽

Apparently, sharing your secrets is risky… because now y’all keep asking for a sequel. 📖

I truly didn’t expect the magnitude of readers that would see pieces of their own story in my book too.

The truth is, healing isn’t always pretty. Sometimes it’s messy, uncomfortable, and full of chapters you’d rather skip. But when we find the courage to tell the truth, something beautiful happens: we remind others they’re not alone. And that in itself was the main reason I was bold enough to share.

And if the biggest complaint is that the book ended too soon… I’ll take that as a compliment.

🇩🇴 If you’re Dominican, you already know…
American Mother’s Day is appreciated. But Dominican Mother’s Day? That’s the one you better not forget.

Because Dominican mothers somehow expect to be celebrated twice… and honestly, after everything they’ve done for us, they’ve earned it.

Today we celebrate the strength, sacrifice, wisdom, faith, and unconditional love of Dominican mothers everywhere.

Feliz Día de las Madres Dominicanas. Que hoy brilles más que nunca con orgullo.

🇩🇴 If you agree, drop a Dominican flag in the comments and celebrate your mamá today!

They say healing your inner child is important… but nobody mentions she’ll also want answers, closure, snacks, and a sequel. 🫣

One of the greatest gifts of sharing Enough with the Secrets, Mama! has been hearing how many readers found pieces of their own childhood in these pages. The love, the pain, the family dynamics, the resilience… all of it.

And judging by the “more, more, more” comments, I may have opened a conversation a lot of us were overdue to have. 🌱

If you’ve ever carried childhood memories into adulthood, this book is for you. Link in bio: https://linktr.ee/issalivestyle

They said this book was a page-turner… which is ironic considering most of us are out here trying to keep our own lives from falling apart one chapter at a time. 🫠

Enough with the Secrets, Mama! wasn’t written from perfection. It was written from survival, healing, faith, hard truths, and the kind of resilience women quietly carry while still showing up for everybody else. And apparently… y’all felt that.

To every woman rebuilding herself in silence, every man trying to better understand the women he loves, and every reader who knows healing can be messy, hilarious, heartbreaking, and beautiful all at once … this story is for you.

If you’ve ever had to choose growth over staying comfortable, consider this your sign to read the book. Link in bio. 🌱

Freedom was never free. 🇺🇸
Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women whose sacrifice made our lives, purpose, and peace possible. May we honor them not only with words, but with the way we live, serve, and love others.

This sketch trend felt a little too accurate. The books, the coffee, the deep thoughts, the big dreams, the faith, the cozy resets, the passion for helping people… and somehow still finding the courage to keep writing through it all.

Every version of me in these sketches tells a piece of the story behind Enough with the Secrets, Mama! 🌱

Maybe that’s the reminder:
