The Practicing Patient is a memoir told from both sides of the pharmacy counter—a pharmacist living with a rare autoimmune disease who refused to be defined by diagnosis alone. Told in four parts—Becoming, Building, Bridging, and Belonging—this book traces one young man’s journey through symptoms without answers, fellowship interviews from a hospital bed, and the daily practice of living fully in every role: son, pharmacist, husband, patient, and father.
Written at the intersection of health and humanity, The Practicing Patient challenges the idea that expertise is limited to the clinic. It reveals how lived experience—even in its most fragile moments—can inform, advocate, and illuminate. Along the way, it invites readers to reconsider what healing means.

Because healing isn’t always about curing—it’s about integrating. It’s the act of embracing every part of who you are, then using that wholeness to speak up, to advocate, and to be seen. Not choosing one role over another but honoring the full self that holds them all—and recognizing that voice, presence, and truth have power in every room you enter.

For patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone navigating the blurry space between what hurts and what’s possible—this is a story that meets you at eye level and then walks with you toward what’s next.

What if the very thing standing between you and the life you crave isn’t your circumstances, your past, or even the people who hurt you but your unwillingness to forgive?

Bitterness, resentment, and an unforgiving heart are silent thieves. They rob us of our birthright to joy, peace, success, and authentic connection, keeping us bound to pain that should have been left behind long ago. But what if you could break free? What if choosing to forgive a person, an event, rejection, abandonment, or even lack could unlock doors you never imagined possible?

F* That! When Forgiveness Unlocks the Life You Truly Desire is more than a book; it’s a guide to releasing the burdens of the past and stepping boldly into the life you were meant to live. Through raw testimony, practical strategies, and transformative exercises, the author shares her deeply personal journey from pain to purpose. Once held captive by past wounds, she now graces stages, empowering others to reclaim their authenticity, restore hope, and organically transform their future, simply by choosing to forgive.

Are you ready to stop allowing your past to dictate your future?

Are you willing to let go, so you can finally receive all that life has to offer?

If so, it’s time to say F* That! because your next level is waiting on the other side of forgiveness.
