Happy Easter.. or should I say, ancient spring festival ✨

Turns out the eggs, the rebirth, the whole vibe... wasn't exactly new.😅

Pagans were celebrating renewal, fertility, and the return of life long before it got rebranded..

Anyway... I'll be over here enjoying my chocolate like my ancestors intended 😌

It’s here. My book.🖤

One thing a lot of people probably don’t realise about me is that I’ve actually been a very private person all my life.

So posting on social media in general, and sharing my life in a book, is a big deal for me.

The truth is, this book was not written overnight. It has been almost eight years in the making. It began as a way for me to make sense of my life, my experiences, and everything I had carried for so long, but rarely put into words.

It starts with my childhood in Soviet and post-Soviet Latvia, because that part of my story shaped so much of what came after. It also tells the story of how I met Jehovah’s Witnesses as a teenager, and everything that followed from there.

Over the years, this book became more than just a writing project. It became a way of finally speaking for myself.

I’ve spent a lot of my life keeping quiet, keeping the peace, people-pleasing, and trying not to upset anyone. And somewhere along the way, I realised that if I didn’t tell my own story, other people’s versions of me would carry on doing the talking.

So this book is me doing exactly that.

It’s me telling my own story, in my own words. Not perfectly, and not from a place of having all the answers, but from a place of honesty.

Writing it took a lot out of me. It meant revisiting parts of my life that were painful, complicated, and deeply personal. It meant sitting with memories I could easily have kept buried. And it meant overcoming my fear of being seen.

But I wrote it anyway.

And now it’s here.

My memoir, The Kingdom Hall Effect, is out now.

Paperback: amzn.eu/d/0eD1QJFC
Kindle: amzn.eu/d/0iayKt1C

Enjoy 😉

P.S. Although this memoir is deeply personal, I’ve still taken care to protect the privacy and confidentiality of others, something that was not always extended to me.

How my story begins…

“In the beginning, I was a girl who mistook self-erasure for love, and I feel that sentence captures the essence of my early life and the history that later shaped me into a Jehovah’s Witness.”

— The Kingdom Hall Effect, Chapter 1 (coming 30 March 2026)

You don't see the strength it took to get here...

From control to clarity.
From silence to voice.
Stronger, every time.
Took this at the gym... clearly didn't check for cat hair first or the fluff 😂

1996: "Come to the Kingdom Hall." Then... 2026: writing a memoir about surviving a JW cult!

Well... that escalated.
Thirty years ago, I walked into a Kingdom Hall. Today, I'm holding the proof copy of the book that tells the whole damn story.

Isn't it funny how life works? What was supposed to keep me small, obedient, and quiet has turned into a tale worth sharing.

This book isn't about revenge; it's about something much more powerful: honesty.

Honestly? Seeing this for the first time feels surreal.
Because after everything... I'm still here, and my voice is louder than it's ever been.

This isn't the final version yet-just the proof copy. But it's close enough that I'm looking at the Amazon page thinking: holy shit... this actually happened.

Every painful chapter, every psychological rabbit hole, every moment of rebuilding my life is right here.
Turns out, the girl they tried to brainwash grew up to write a book about it. They didn't see that one coming, did they? Plot twist.

The most dangerous thing a woman can do is finally understand her own worth.
Reinvention isn't a single moment.
It's a thousand quiet choices to become yourself again.

Built from everything I survived.

Every version of me led here.
Own your story. Even the chapters they tried to silence.

I grew up inside Jehovah's Witnesses and left as an adult. My memoir, The Kingdom Hall Effect, explores what happens when faith, identity, family, and freedom collide — and what it takes to reclaim your voice.
Out 30 March. Link will be in bio.

What if control isn’t enforced by rules…
but by shame?

Platform rhetoric.
Elders monitoring motherhood.
Subtle exclusion.
Triangulation.
Shunning.

In my upcoming memoir about my time as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, I explore how shame can become a behavioural regulator — and how conformity is often enforced socially, long before anyone says it out loud.

The Calm Before the Storm.

I waited a long time to share this story. In this photo, in 2013, there's a moment captured during one of the last times I felt included, surrounded by 'friends' in the Jehovah's Witnesses organization. At that moment, I was unaware that I would soon face a divorce and become a single parent. Not only that, the mass turning of everyone but 1 person against me in the whole community, the lies spread about me, by people I trusted to know better. But nothing ever stays buried.
I did not see it there, but today I'm here to reclaim my voice and tell the real story behind the mask.

March, 2026.
