I'm looking for women to read "The Doctor Says I'm Fine" before it launches and become the founding voices of a community that will outlast the launch. Applications are reviewed personally by Sahra.
Of sitting in doctors' offices and being told I was fine while my body was anything but. Of wondering if I was too broken to fix, too faithless to heal, too far gone to come back.
I wrote it for every woman who has lived that story.
If that's you, or someone you love, I would be honored to have you read it before anyone else.
What I'm asking:
Read the manuscript over the next four weeks. On launch day, leave an honest review on Amazon and Goodreads. And if you feel moved, share a post on social media telling your people about it. That's it. Your words will help the women who need this book actually find it.
"I wrote this book for the woman sitting on her couch, begging God for help. If that's been you, I want you to read it first."

These women read an early draft of this book. This is what they said.
"This is more than just a book. It's a guide on how to live a more grounded, regulated, and faith-filled life. Sahra's approach is so refreshing. It's not about perfection, it's about peace. You'll come away feeling encouraged, grounded, and way more connected to God and to yourself."— Kelly S.
"Sahra has made a masterpiece. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Her book has gold nuggets in it that I have not seen explained in so many helpful details anywhere else. Through God's Word, Sahra encourages us to live a victorious life of freedom and joy!"— Dr. Faith Marie Nava
"So much information bubbling out of your book! I love the SMILE acronym. I remember thinking I no longer even had the energy to smile, so I love that you have a recipe to smile again."— Nicole G.
"THIS BOOK IS AMAZING, POWERFUL, FULL OF TRUTH AND INSIGHT THAT I SERIOUSLY NEEDED TO READ!!! It has literally resonated with me so much and opened my eyes. THIS BOOK IS A #1 SELLER IN MY EYES!! You're going to help so many people with it!"— Misty C.
I'm a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, a wife to my best friend Richard, and a woman who spent more than a decade fighting a battle no doctor could name. When I finally understood what Chronic Fight or Flight was doing to my body, everything changed. Not just physically, but spiritually.
I wrote The Doctor Says I'm Fine because I needed this book when I was sick, and it didn't exist yet. Now it does. And I believe God has a woman in mind for every copy.
Outside of this work, Richard and I love discovering great food together, and I especially enjoy cooking and hosting friends and family in our home. Every December I bake nearly two thousand cookies and give them all away — a tradition that reminds me how meaningful small acts of service can be.
