About Wet, my forthcoming memoir (work in progress, folks)

Let’s Talk Wet

I am at work on a memoir called Wet, which is about my own journey of healing past trauma through an adventure of sensuality in South America. ​From wearing a bikini for the first time on the beaches of Brazil to dancing tango in Buenos Aires, there are many outside-the-comfort zone scenes in this book. I’m sure many readers will be asking, “You did WHAT?” many times.

For a sneak preview before the book is ready, watch this video and listen to me tell the story to Robyn Vogel, a trauma-informed therapist.

The book is organized by body part, Head to Skin to Heart to Pussy to Backbone. Each body part maps to a country on my journey. Listening to each part led me to a new phase of healing from past traumas with lessons to bring back to readers. The lessons correspond to insights and tools that about our bodies and sexuality that I transmit to clients.

We need pleasure to become stronger. We need our joy to face our own demons. 

This is a novel drawn from life, not a self-help book, but it’s definitely going to be of interest to any trauma survivor who wants to reconnect with her body, occupy her body, and explore the full dimensions and power of pleasure in her body. It’s going to be of interest to readers who are questioning what it means to be an adult woman, and whether a woman needs to check off the boxes of marriage and motherhood to feel full and complete.

In the book, I’m playing with what it means to be or get “wet.”

For me, getting wet means listening to our bodies, getting into the flow, and letting ourselves move through life according to our deepest intuitions. The story of Wet also definitely has something to say about the value of reconnecting with our bodies and pleasure.

I’m sharing the book with a select group of early readers. Sign up to be on that special list.

And when you do, tell me what Wet means to you.
