Blindsided: Entering a Mindset

by Sheri Arcuria, Clarity Creative (Illustrator)

You never see it coming. But what do you do when life knocks the wind out of you?
In this raw, hilarious, and deeply human memoir, Sheri shares what happened after the “high” of publishing her first book came crashing down — straight into panic attacks, isolation, and a devastating emotional spiral.
From childhood identity crises and playground politics to middle school musical trauma and adult grief, Blindsided is both a gut-punch and a lifeline. It’s for anyone who's ever felt lost in the fog and still tried to smile through the pain.
With brutal honesty and unexpected laughs, Sheri health and navigating darknessAbandonment and generational traumaBody image and self-worthHumor as healing and survivalThis is not a guidebook. This is a survival story — told the way it actually messy, nonlinear, and unexpectedly funny.
If you’ve ever been blindsided by life, you’ll find yourself in these pages. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find a way forward too.
