Dear Readers,
This feels both exciting and a little nerve-wracking to share, but here it goes: I’m writing a book! After years of diving deep into the complexities of gender dynamics, relationships, and personal growth with you on this site, I’ve decided to take our conversations to the next level. This book will bring together some of your favorite articles—expanded and updated—along with brand-new chapters and personal stories that I’ve never shared before. It’s a dream come true to create something tangible that you can hold in your hands, dog-ear, and turn to whenever you need comfort or a fresh perspective.
Why a book? Honestly, the idea came from you. Your heartfelt comments and requests for a deeper, more cohesive guide made me realize how much these discussions matter to you. It’s humbling to know that in a world of evolving relationships and shifting gender roles, you’ve found something valuable here. This book is my way of offering a bigger picture—something that feels like a conversation between friends. It will have the humor and honesty you love, but it will also dig deeper, exploring the tough, messy parts of modern life that we don’t always get a chance to fully unpack.
What You’ll Find in the Book
Your Favorite Articles, Reimagined: I’m taking pieces you’ve connected with—like those on the “Alpha Woman” or the emotional load many women carry—and giving them a fresh take, adding new layers of insight.
Brand-New Content: There will be entire chapters dedicated to topics we haven’t yet touched on here, diving into self-identity, relationships, and the changing face of masculinity. I’m sharing thoughts I’ve been holding close, waiting for the right moment to put them into words.
Personal Stories and Vulnerable Moments: I’m opening up in ways I haven’t before, sharing more of my own journey as a psychologist and as a woman. The behind-the-scenes experiences that have shaped my views are stories I’ve been hesitant to tell—but it feels right to share them with you now.
How You Can Be Part of This
I can’t do this without you. Your stories, insights, and experiences are a huge part of why I’m writing this book. I’d love to hear from you—share what’s resonated, what you’re struggling with, and what you’d like to see in print. Who knows, maybe your voice will make it into the pages! And here’s a fun request: I’d love your help coming up with a title. If you have any suggestions, please send them to me at help@couplescompass.org. I can’t wait to see what creative ideas you come up with!
I’ll be sharing updates, sneak peeks, and ways to get involved through the newsletter and social media, so please stay connected. And when the time comes for pre-orders, just know that your support would mean the absolute world to me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here. Thank you for your openness, your encouragement, and for inspiring this project. I can’t wait to share this book with you—to hold it in our hands and know it’s something we built together.
With so much love and gratitude,
Grace
