Cocoa, Fla., United States, 10th Aug 2024—Misti Blu, the podcaster, writer, herbalist, and entrepreneur, today announced the publication of her debut memoir, “Garden of Blu.” Get ready to be inspired, uplifted, and maybe even chuckle a bit as author Misti Blu unveils how she turned her challenges into her superpower. This isn’t your average “woe is me” story—it’s a vibrant journey of a woman who decided to throw fertilizer on life’s manure and grow something beautiful.
Born with a cocktail of invisible illnesses (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, and dysautonomia), Misti spent years being told it was “all in her head.” Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. Misti has navigated more surgeries than she cares to count, including a couple of visits to the “open heart surgery spa” and a pacemaker that makes airport security a blast.
“Garden of Blu” chronicles her rollercoaster ride from confused teen to overwhelmed young mom, and finally to a woman who said, “Enough is enough” and started planting the seeds of change.
“Life handed me lemons, so I made lemonade… and then I learned how to distill my own essential oils from those lemon peels,” quips Misti. “This book is for anyone who’s ever felt lost in the dark. Newsflash: that’s all of us at some point!”
Through a blend of heartfelt narrative and personal writings dating back to age 15, Misti shares her journey, including:
– Tackling invisible illnesses with the stubbornness of a mule (and the heart of a lion)
– Parenting three kids while battling depression and c-PTSD (spoiler: sometimes cereal for dinner is a win)
– Ditching the booze, negative self-talk, and other weeds in her mental garden
– Transforming medical frustrations into passionate advocacy (watch out, world!)
“Garden of Blu” isn’t just a memoir. It’s a pep talk, a hug, and a gentle kick in the pants for anyone facing tough times. It’s proof that with a little grit, a lot of heart, and a healthy dose of humor, we can all learn to bloom in the dark.
Available on Amazon August 21st. Warning: May cause spontaneous bouts of self-reflection, an occasional cry, giggling, and an irresistible urge to start one’s own healing journey.
Book Misti Blu for authentic, inspiring conversations on resilience, chronic illness advocacy, and personal transformation through podcasts, interviews, and speaking engagements.”
Remember: Life’s too short for wilting. Let’s bloom together!
