Day 1 of figuring out how to create & publish a children’s book about eczema…

Here’s what I am thinking, I want it to be illustrated by @lilmisseczema if she’s interested! I want it to be about a little girl with eczema. I want it to have rhythm and rhyme. I am thinking a board book or a sturdy laminated paper.

What I don’t know:
1. How to publish in general
2. How to fund the publishing by @empoweredeczema

I stopped eczema coaching here’s why…

I would say it comes down to two things. The first is, I am simply being called by the universe to do something different. The second is, I have two beautiful babies that need me right now.

About a year ago things started getting HARD in my business, everything felt like friction. Something wasn’t working with my coaching. It was hard to get clients and when I did often we weren’t the right fit. I cared too much about helping the community to keep doing something that didn’t felt right. I made a shift late 2025 from “The Eczema Coach” to “Empowered Eczema” and partnered with Larry from Fighting Eczema. I thought this would solve my “mid life crisis” lol. I thought well, Larry is a naturopath so if we work together, maybe coaching would start working again.

Guess what? It didn’t. Something still wasn’t clicking and at this point it’s Feb 2026 with me due with baby 2 in April. I decided to stop coaching at this time. But honestly, it was so hard for me to walk from my business as I knew it for the last 8 years. So from then till recently I kept trying group programs with the same results as a year ago.

After more soul searching, a bit of an ego death, and surrendering to where I was being led, I’m here today to say my days of coaching are over… however 👇

With that being said, I am NO WHERE near done being a leader in the eczema community. I plan to start “reporting” the latest eczema news to my page: events, new research, the latest updates on all things eczema. AND planning an eczema fashion show next year 👀

Thank you for reading this and sticking with me through this growth! 💕 by @empoweredeczema

Then from these foods check The Ultimate Eczema Food Guide to see if they are safe for you! See if they have histamines, salicylates or if they feed candida or sugar-loving microbes 🦠 comment “food guide” for more information 👇

Zinc deficiency is very common for those with eczema. I believe in eating foods that can give us these nutrients first if possible. by @empoweredeczema

Day 4 of creating a children’s book about eczema!

I think the only part that I’m hesitant about in going through with a publisher is, I really want to use my own illustrator, I wonder how strict they are about that 🤔

My friend was telling me there are guidelines around how many words & pages there are but she is self publishing a paper book so I wonder how board books differ! by @empoweredeczema

I believe that hair holds memory and I wasn’t able to shake the feeling that I wanted to cut my hair. So last night I cut about 5 inches off and while I love my hair long, I want to shed some of the old energy. What do you think about hair holding energy? Do you agree?

PS: hosting a giveaway with @truthwards_podcast & @magsskin to give away 3 free bottles of their deodorant! Comment “ARMPIT” for details 👇 by @empoweredeczema

I seriously have so many questions, but I’m so grateful for all the people who have been commenting on the series so far! I guess my biggest question is what are the pros and cons of self publishing versus going through a publisher? by @empoweredeczema

If your skin feels like your immune system is working *against* you, you’re not alone.

When I started researching supplements for eczema, I was overwhelmed. So many options, no clear way to tell what matched MY root causes.

That’s why I created my Ultimate Eczema Supplement Guide. It’s a simple spreadsheet that maps 30+ supplements to root causes like inflammation, mast cell / histamine, gut health, sleep, stress, and skin repair, so you can stop guessing and bring a clear list to your doctor to discuss.

It’s 70% OFF for preorder right now.

Comment SUPPLEMENT and I’ll DM you the link directly 🤍

You’re someone plagued with flares, your eyes get puffy and swollen when you wake up, you feel itchy all over your body sometimes even without flares in those areas, you might even sneeze after waking up. If this sounds like you, you might be sensitive to histamines!

That means giving a low histamine diet a try could help you. After coaching eczema warriors to healthy skin naturally for 8 years I know a thing or two about foods and eczema. While I stepped away from coaching, I still offer awesome resources! For example, I have a free course that dives into different root causes and literal protocols on how to heal them.
