You don’t realize you’re drowning until you try to breathe.

You’ve outperformed, outworked, and outstrategized. You’ve made yourself adaptable, palatable, and relentlessly capable. And yet the higher you’ve climbed, the more it has cost you to stay there.

That exhaustion is not a character flaw. It is the entirely predictable result of leading inside a system that was never built for you.

You already know something is wrong. You can feel it in the meetings where you edit yourself before speaking. In the decisions that used to come naturally and now feel like work. In the success that looks right on paper and feels wrong everywhere else.

SoulFIRE Leadership gives you what the traditional leadership playbook never could: a framework built around how you actually think, lead, and decide.

You don’t need to fix yourself. You never did.

It’s time to lead like you. Or not at all.

For every soul who has endured the unthinkable or is carrying scars from battles you never asked for, this book will show you that survival is only the beginning to truly living.

How Would You Know if a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
is Sleeping Beside You?

Am I crazy? Am I imagining things? WTF is going on??
—every victim of narcissistic abuse

Narcissists are everywhere: in your home, your workplace, even in your bed. But would you know one if you saw one?
We can all spot the self-centered, in-your-face, attention-hogging types. But the most dangerous of all? The covert narcissists—the so-called “good guys” and “great gals” who seem too good to be true.

Behind that shiny façade of charm, charisma, and “niceness” lies a master manipulator, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Love, Lies, and Narcissists in Disguise gives language to the mind games, emotional traps, and subtle sabotage these stealthy abusers use to lure you in, then confuse, control, and diminish you.

This A-Z guide for survivors blends essential information, healing tools, real survivor stories, psychological insights, and even a dose of offbeat humor—because sometimes laughter really is the best medicine.

Knowledge is power. Once you see the wolf as a wolf, you’re no longer fooled by the fleece.
You’re not crazy—that shit really happened.
It wasn’t your fault. And you’re not alone.
Your journey to healing, peace, and freedom starts here.

Determination will stand above discouragement, turn its back on disappointment, and embrace opportunity.

Life has a way of delivering unexpected blows that can leave us questioning our purpose, our worth, and our future. Whether it is a career setback, a broken relationship, a health crisis, or simply the weight of unfulfilled dreams, disappointment can feel like a dead end. But what if it is actually a doorway?

Dr. Selvyn Sewell understands the crushing weight of disappointment—and the extraordinary power that lies within our ability to reframe it. In MINDSET RESET, he reveals how the very experiences that seem to derail our lives can become the catalyst for our greatest transformation.

Drawing from years of experiences with personal disappointment, proven psychological principles, and timeless biblical wisdom, Dr. Sewell guides readers through a revolutionary process of mental renewal. This is not about positive thinking or quick fixes — it is about fundamentally changing the way we interpret setbacks, failure, and loss using both counseling techniques and spiritual insight. Through practical strategies grounded in biblical truth, real-life case studies, and actionable exercises, you will discover how to:
Transform limiting beliefs that keep you trapped in cycles of defeat.
Harness the hidden opportunities within your greatest disappointments.
Develop unshakeable resilience that turns obstacles into steppingstones.
Create a clear pathway from where you are to where you are meant to be.
Access divine favor.
Your disappointment is not your destination — it is your redirection. Just as Scripture reveals that God works all things together for good, the life you are meant to live is waiting on the other side of the mindset shift that changes everything. Your disappointment is not the end of your story.

It is the birthplace of your destiny.

Your reset begins now.

When the person you love most is hurting… how do you survive without losing yourself?

When Love Hurts is a raw, honest memoir from Mike and Christine Gifford—partners in life, pain, and healing. It is the story of two people caught in the grip of addiction, trauma, and disease, who dared to ask the hardest questions: What is love when it no longer feels safe?

Told from both Mike’s and Christine’s perspectives, this powerful book explores:

-The hidden toll of codependency and caretaking
-The spiritual journey from betrayal to healing
-How love can become both a wound and a lifeline
-The radical path of self-forgiveness and self-love
-What it means to stay—through illness, recovery, and truth

Whether you’ve struggled in your own relationships, supported a loved one through addiction, or felt the quiet ache of losing yourself to someone else’s pain—this book offers hope. Mike and Christine don’t pretend to have all the answers, but they have lived the questions. And in doing so, they have found something more enduring than perfection: authentic love.

Kit Carson. Wyatt Earp. Jedediah Smith. These men come to mind when people think about the history of notable Nevadans. But who are the notable women impacting the Silver State today? Journalist Lucy Birmingham spent many years interviewing and profiling strong, remarkable, and independent women who are leaving their imprint on the Silver State for Women of Nevada: A journey of inspiration and empowerment in the high desert.

Birmingham learned about the swift, trout-rich, and fast-flowing Truckee River, where the Sierra Fly Girls create opportunities for women to explore natural outdoor beauty, meet new people, and empower women. On the hot, dry, and unforgiving Black Rock Desert playa, choreographer Carly “Wrangler” Perona and photographer Eleanor Preger showed Birmingham the beauty, DIY spirit, and fire (literally) behind the annual Burning Man festival. Birmingham also met native women committed to preserving their cultural traditions—from Western Shoshone basketmaker Leah Brady to Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe member Rochanne Downs’ diligent work preserving and repatriating stolen Native bones, skulls, and other sacred objects. And award-winning filmmaker Kari Barber shared with Birmingham her experiences making documentaries that offer a deeper understanding of Nevada and its residents.

In the end, Women of Nevada: A journey of inspiration and empowerment in the high desert is a travelogue highlighting more than a dozen pioneering, iconoclastic, and inspiring women of ages and cultures as vast and sweeping as the state itself.
