I created this book out of a deep need to break free from the relentless rush of modern life. We’re all moving so fast, often without realizing how much we’re missing. I saw it in myself, and I saw it mirrored in the people around me—this longing for depth, for ease, for genuine connection. But I also saw how hard it is to actually slow down when everything feels urgent.
This book was a cathartic act—both an escape and a return. As I wrote, I found myself transforming. I realized that slow living doesn’t mean doing less; it means doing things with presence. It’s not about detaching from life—it’s about leaning into it with intention.
Life’s Ocean is more than a story. It’s an invitation to reclaim your breath, your time, your joy. If you’ve been aching to shift but haven’t known how, this might be your gentle starting point. It’s a small investment—but the return? A radically softer, richer way to live.

Through storytelling and subtle, practical prompts, the book illustrates how everyday choices—around time, food, rest, relationships, and attention—can become more intentional. The narrative gently models slow living principles, making them feel both accessible and appealing.

While Nat is a fictional character, her experiences are deeply inspired by real emotional truths and personal observations. The author uses Nat as a vessel to explore authentic themes many readers will relate to—overwhelm, identity, ambition, doubt, and joy.

Expect observational humor, self-deprecating thoughts, and the kind of warmth that feels like a heart-to-heart with a wise friend. The tone is honest without being heavy, light without being superficial.

These include recognizing unhealthy perfectionism, learning to rest without guilt, reevaluating definitions of success, exploring feminine energy, and discovering joy in simple routines like mindful eating, movement, and music.

The story itself is entertaining, filled with inner monologues, humorous moments, and relatable interactions. Slow living isn’t preached—it’s revealed through lived experiences and emotional insight, making it enjoyable to read while planting seeds of reflection.

Absolutely anyone can read it. Law school is just the backdrop—the emotional journey and life lessons are universally relatable. Whether you’re a student, professional, or someone in between, the themes apply.

By reading how Nat navigates self-doubt, pressure, and unexpected joy, you’ll likely find reflections of your own experiences. The book offers perspective shifts and gentle guidance, encouraging you to honor your journey with more compassion and curiosity.

Yes, though not in the form of bullet-point advice. Instead, these themes are woven into Nat’s thoughts and choices. You’ll find real, emotionally intelligent reflections on boundaries, burnout, connection, and online noise.

The book is available in both hardback and soft cover. Content-wise, they’re the same. The difference lies in durability and aesthetic—some readers prefer the feel and longevity of a hardback, while others enjoy the portability of a soft cover.

It’s a medium-length book—long enough to offer depth, but digestible in a few evenings or over a relaxed weekend. Many readers choose to take it slowly, savoring a few chapters at a time alongside journaling or reflection.

I can’t get over how seamlessly the tenets of slow living are woven into this book. I was inspired to introduce different aspects of the practice with gentle nudges as I read about how Nat was integrating them. I experienced important shifts in my life: 1) I eat more healthily because my body likes it not because I should 2) I realized that if I look at things that I want/need to do in bite-size pieces, I can actually get them done or at least start them (which makes them easier to complete) 3) I am really into the healing powers of leaning into the masculine and feminine energies depending on what feels better for each person and I really appreciated this candid exploration of what leaning into feminine energy means for Nat and to the author. Laughter is really important to me–I didn’t know how much it mattered until my time got limited and I had to be more intentional about where I wanted to put my attention; this book had me laughing out loud and often!!! It was such a fantastic return on my time investment! Really glad a I read this book—my family thanks the author as well :) and I can’t wait to read the next one in the (hopefully) series! I’m also really excited about the activities on youtube and the little books–I’ve had fun seeing what comes up next on the channel.

This book met me right where I was—juggling motherhood, career shifts, and the quiet (and sometimes loud) ache of burnout. Life’s Ocean didn’t preach. It didn’t tell me to change my life. It showed me, through Nat, what it might feel like to slow down and listen in. There’s this gentle rhythm to the story that somehow matched the pace I wanted to live at—but forgot how. I’ve started cooking again (with joy, not obligation), taking morning walks without my phone, and even setting up little “micro-retreats” at home, thanks to some of the exercises. Also? I cried. I laughed. I healed. It’s not just a book. It’s a friend who reminds you how to feel again.

I picked this up because a friend said it was “funny and soulful”—not words I usually expect in the same sentence. Boom. She was right. I didn’t expect to get hooked, but the main character really got under my skin in the best way. I didn’t feel like I was reading a self-help book; I felt like I was reading someone’s inside thoughts—real, unfiltered, sometimes raw, but always insightful. And the best part? It didn’t try to fix me. It just got me thinking differently. I’ve made small but meaningful shifts—less doomscrolling, more music, better food, deeper rest. Bonus: I gained further clarity on “feminine energy and masculine energy”. Definitely recommending this to anyone who wants a reset without the pressure.
