What if the story you've been living isn't the only one available?
The What I Thought Series
Every book in the series begins the same way.
With a belief most of us inherited before we were old enough to question it. About love. About loss. About what we owe the people around us and what we are allowed to want for ourselves.
What I Thought Love Required
What It Cost Me. What I Choose Now.
Some beliefs arrive quietly. Be useful. Be agreeable. Be less than you really were.
Most of us never question them. We simply build our lives around them and call it love.

Coloring Through the Noise
For the Person Who Has Been Holding It Together While Quietly Falling Apart
This is a memoir. With coloring woven in.
Not a traditional coloring book. Not a workbook. A memoir that uses coloring as a tool for presence, one page at a time.
Jesse Sloane wrote this book after her own life quietly unraveled. From the outside, everything looked fine. On the inside, something essential was disappearing. What helped her begin to find her way back was surprisingly simple: coloring. Not because it solved everything. Because it gave her one thing she could still do. Start. Stay present. Finish.
Moving through five phases: regulation, identity, reclaiming joy, ownership, and becoming. Each chapter opens with a reflection and a visual prompt. The coloring happens on your terms, in the companion book or wherever works for you.
You don't need to be artistic. You just need to be tired of disappearing inside your own life.
Coloring Through the Noise: The Companion Coloring Book
Thirty-two full-page illustrations designed to accompany the memoir.
Each image corresponds to a chapter in Coloring Through the Noise — a visual extension of the reflection, created for those who want a more immersive coloring experience.
Can be used alongside the memoir or on its own as a quiet creative practice.
