It was ONLY meant for my kids…

When I wrote my book ‘Secrets of the Red Lantern’ back in 2007…  

I never dreamt it would leave the house. 

It was supposed to be a memoir. 

A keepsake for my children. 

Something to help them understand where we came from and what it took to get here. 

But life has a funny way of surprising you. 

As it happens… 

This little family project went global.

Debut Writer of the Year.

International Best Seller.

Tens of thousands of copies sold. 

And — my poor kids — it even landed on the HSC curriculum.

Imagine having to sit exams about your mum’s trauma and her cooking in your final years of school.

But the biggest shock?

The emails.

War veterans living with PTSD reached out. 

Survivors of domestic abuse wrote to me. 

Even people who openly admitted to being racist said my story gave them empathy and understanding.

Children of Holocaust survivors said: 

“Same story, different war.” 

All different people.

All different backgrounds. 

All connected by story.

And this made me realise something:

The details of our lives might look nothing alike.

(That much is true.)

But the patterns underneath it all?

Almost always the same.

Which is why, years later, when I created NUMINOUS

I designed it not for one single type of person.

But for any living, breathing being… with aspirations, purpose and drive.

Because the nervous system doesn’t care if you’re an entrepreneur, a parent, or a leader.

It doesn’t care if you’re from Sydney, San Francisco, Spain, or São Paulo. 

It only cares if you’re wired for survival…
Or expansion.

For fear…
Or freedom.

And that’s the common thread, {Name}.

Different stories.

Different faces.

Same nervous system underneath it all.

Today? NUMINOUS has become this wild little tapestry of people from every walk of life.

CEOs, creatives, parents, athletes…

All working on the same thing:

Rewiring their foundation so they can finally live a life without the brakes on.

If quality of life is something you’re craving…

In Love and Wisdom,

P.S. My kids still tease me about having to study my book at school. But secretly? I think they loved it. 😉
