Memoir Ghostwriting: Your Healing Story Is Your Legacy

A Manifesto for Women Who Have Walked Through Fire

You didn't choose the pain. But you did choose to heal from it.

You didn't choose the trauma, the betrayal, the loss, the breaking open. But did choose to do the work.

You chose to be radically accountable for your life. To keep showing up for yourself. To create a life you love.

Maybe you went to therapy and said out loud the secrets you’d been carrying. You met with healers and coaches. You invested everything—your time, your money, your heart—into piecing yourself back together. And now, you’re not the same as you were before.

You have scars. You may even have wounds that are still healing.

And now you sit with a story that could change everything for another woman.

Your healing story is not just yours.

It belongs to every woman who thinks she could never be enough. To every woman who thinks she’s the only one who’s been through this. Every woman who’s tired of suffering in silence. Your story could be the lighthouse they need to find a way home to themselves again.

You've done the hardest part.

You've walked through the fire and come out the other side. You've alchemized your pain into wisdom. You know it and embody it, deep in your bones—this healing magic. 

But here's what I know about you: You're called to do more than just experience this healing yourself. You’re called to share what you’ve learned with others. To light the path. To create a ripple effect that will change lives. 

You’ve thought about writing a book. Maybe someone has even asked you to, or said you should. You’ve thought about your story over and over but you feel lost on where to start. Maybe you feel like a fraud— like you’re not a “real” writer.

But you know, deep down, that collaborating with a writer would change your life and would free you. And save others.

Your story wants to be told.

Not because it's perfect. Not because you have all the answers. But because it's real.

Because another woman needs to know that depression doesn't have to be forever. That marriages can be rebuilt after betrayal. That bodies can heal from trauma. That businesses can be built from breakdowns. That joy is possible after the deepest grief.

Your story is proof that transformation is possible. Your story is permission for others to begin.

The women who need your story? They're waiting.

They're scrolling through their phones at 2 AM, looking for hope. They're sitting in therapists' offices, wondering if they'll ever feel whole. They're investing in their healing but feeling alone in the process.

They need to know that someone like them—someone who understands the depth of the pain, the complexity of the healing, the sacredness of the journey—made it through.

They need your story.

They need to hear what you’ve learned from you— not anyone else. You.

This is your invitation.

Not to be perfect. Not to have it all figured out. Not to minimize the pain or make it pretty.

But to honor your journey by sharing it. To create the ripple effect that reaches women you'll never meet. To leave a legacy that matters.

Your healing story is your gift to the world. And the world is ready for it.

Are you ready to tell your story?

Because I'm ready to help you share it in a way that honors every sacred step of your journey.

I’m a memoir ghostwriter, which means I write books on behalf of others. My favorite kinds of books to write are those by women with a transformative story of healing and transformation.

These are soulful, transformational memoirs for brave women.

Women who have survived abuse, addiction, PTSD, complex diagnoses, eating disorders.

Women who have left religious communities and cults, who have navigated complicated divorces, or who have gone through a journey with infertility.

Women who have suffered from mental health struggles or lost someone to suicide. Women who have had chronic illness, spiritual awakenings, breakdowns that became breakthroughs.

Women who are whistleblowers on corporate corruption, women who have lost everything and had to rebuild their wealth from scratch. Women breaking family generational trauma and patterns.

Women who have left successful careers that were draining them.

Women whose identities shifted later in life, those healing from perfectionism and people pleasing, and more.

How Memoir Ghostwriting Works

Our process begins with deep listening. Through intensive interviews, I'll hear not just what happened, but how it shaped you, what you learned, and what you want other women to know. We go deep into the moments and memories that have made you you.

Then we dive even deeper. For clients who are called to it, I can come to you for a sacred retreat weekend—a shamanic initiation into your story. We'll create the container for your deepest truths to emerge, honoring both the pain and the transformation with the reverence they deserve.

From there, we craft your story. Together, we'll create a detailed outline that captures the arc of your journey, then I'll draft your memoir in your authentic voice. Through thoughtful revisions, we'll refine it until it feels completely, powerfully you.

The book becomes yours to share however feels right to you—whether that's traditional publishing, self-publishing, or simply creating a legacy document for your family. Some women want to change the world with their story. Others want to heal their lineage. Both are sacred choices.

Your story, your voice, your legacy. I'm here to make sure it gets told with all the power and truth it deserves.

If these ideas intrigue you, let's talk about bringing your story to life.
