I’m the author of
“I’m Done Dimming My Light“
It’s part memoir, part manifesto and part guide for Ambitious Multi-passionate Souls who want it all without burnout!
Why am I writing this topic?
Ever felt like you were doing everything “right” and still felt invisible?
That was me—hustling, achieving, chasing gold stars that looked shiny on the outside but left me exhausted and hollow inside. I dimmed my light to fit in, to be acceptable, to be “successful.”
But here’s what I learned the hard way—when you dim your light for too long, you start to forget who you are.
This book is my reclamation. I’m Done Dimming My Light isn’t just a story—it’s a movement, a conversation, and an invitation for you to reclaim your own brilliance.
I wrote this book because I know what it feels like to break down under expectations—family, society, career—and to wonder if maybe you’re just “too much.” But I also know what it feels like to rise, to remember who you are, and to finally shine without apology.
Inside this book, you’ll journey with me through moments of rejection, heartbreak, burnout, and rediscovery—and you’ll meet the philosophies and practices that helped me rebuild a life where I no longer shrink to make others comfortable.
The truth? The answers you’re searching for aren’t “out there.” They’ve been with you, in your own light.
This isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, Who am I really? What am I here for? Why do I feel like there’s more to life than this?—then this book is for you.
I’m not offering you a map to my life—I’m handing you a mirror for your own.
Because the world doesn’t need a smaller version of you. The world needs your light, undimmed.
As you turn these pages, you’ll discover:
Why so many of us lose our inner spark—and how to reignite it.
How to break free from cultural and personal conditioning that tells you to be smaller than you are.
A framework I call the Quartenet—four essential tenets (Health, Relationships, Passion, and Material) that guide multi-passionate people like us to succeed without burning out.
The five phases of reclaiming your light—Shadow, Spark, Shimmer, Shine, and Star—and how to move through them at your own pace.
Practices, stories, and reflections that help you stop dimming and start living as the star you already are.
The Five Phases of Undimming
Your journey isn’t linear—it’s a rhythm. Just like a star, your light moves through stages:
Shadow – The season of doubt, burnout, and feeling invisible.
Spark – That first flicker of awareness that something has to change.
Shimmer – Experimenting, trying, failing, learning—allowing your light to peek through.
Shine – Living aligned, unapologetic, rooted in your truth.
Star – Becoming a beacon—using your light to guide and uplift others.
These phases aren’t steps you “finish.” They’re a cycle you’ll move through again and again as you expand and evolve.
