From Pressure to Path
I did not set out to create a body of work.
What I set out to do, slowly and imperfectly, was learn how to live inside myself with a little more honesty, compassion, and steadiness. Everything else came later.
The Light Switch Myth grew out of a pattern I kept seeing, both in my own life and in my work with others. Many of us are taught that change should be instant, permanent, Read more of this blog post »

| I loved this book and must admit I felt like a young kid at visiting at the ocean as I read along. Plunk, Shh, whoosh, sounds the author shared reverberated in my head as if I was right there. Isn't plunk the exact sound we associate with pelicans! C ...more | |

The Light Switch Myth: Contemporary Approaches to Creating Lasting Change:
"The author does a great job establishing that change is not sudden, but a path we navigate. The author gives a way to assess how you approach change. The author does a good job establishing how the instant change myth comes to be. She also shows how "

"A friend recommended "The Light Switch Myth," and it exceeded my expectations. I anticipated another self-help book selling quick fixes, but Kerisma Vere delivers genuine honesty instead. The title stems from her brilliant metaphor about how we expec"

| What a fantastic retelling of an old god and goddess legend. Now I am a fan of the Percy Jackson series about gods and demigods but this story was even more engaging and not as skewed towards the male experience. The presentation of Persephone and Ha ...more | |

| A simple but heartwarming tale of a little tree who tried so hard to be exactly like his elders but was unable to. Something most of us face at one point or another. I thought the story did a good job of capturing the emotions of growing up and our s ...more | |

“The ability to do hard things is perhaps the most useful ability you can foster in yourself or your children. And proof that you are someone who can do them is one of the most useful assets you can have on your life resume.
Our self-image is composed of historical evidence of our abilities. The more hard things you push yourself to do, the more competent you will see yourself to be.
If you can run marathons or throw double your body weight over your head, the sleep deprivation from a newborn is only a mild irritant. If you can excel at organic chemistry or econometrics, onboarding for a new finance job will be a breeze.
But if we avoid hard things, anything mildly challenging will seem insurmountable. We’ll cry into TikTok over an errant period at the end of a text message. We’ll see ourselves as incapable of learning new skills, taking on new careers, and escaping bad situations.
The proof you can do hard things is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself.”
