How to Make a Butterfly Fly began not in a quiet moment of peace, but in the midst of chaos. The idea first fluttered into my mind in January 2022, during a time of personal hardship—when I was navigating intense challenges, including digital harassment and emotional strain. It was a season of shadows, but from that darkness, a spark of light emerged.

In the quiet corners of my imagination, I found refuge. And in that refuge, a story was born—a story about transformation, resilience, and the magic of becoming. Though the concept arrived swiftly, the writing took time. I had assumed publishing would be simple, but I quickly learned it’s a journey of alignment—finding the right fit, building a community, and nurturing a vision.
Months before Butterfly took shape, I had been brainstorming ideas for a children’s book. While those early concepts remain tucked away (and safely unwritten until they’re protected), they laid the groundwork for what was to come. Back in school, I felt the ticking of time and realized that this story could be more than just a book—it could be a movement. So I pivoted, transforming the idea into an e-commerce venture to build a following and bring the story to life.
This blog is part of that journey. It’s where I share the behind-the-scenes of building a brand, a book, and a dream. And just like butterflies, your support helps me soar.
Together, we’re learning how to make a butterfly fly.
