This book cracked me open in ways I wasn’t expecting. It’s raw, honest, and exactly what my soul needed.
I felt like Tamara was speaking directly to me—like a wise friend reminding me of my own strength.
It’s not just a book, it’s an experience. One that lingers long after you’ve turned the last page.
A must-read for anyone who needs a reminder that life is meant to be lived fully, fiercely, and with an open heart.
I AM LOTUS is for you if:
You’re ready to stop sleepwalking through life and start living with purpose.
You’ve been through challenges that shook you to your core, and you’re searching for a way forward.
You want to feel more—more joy, more confidence, more connection to the person you’re meant to be.
You need a reminder that you are stronger than you think and that your story is still being written.
“None of us know the journey that lies ahead or how our story will unfold.
But what I do know for sure is that we have the power to choose how we face the challenges life places in our path. We alone can decide to lean into our fears or rise above them, to stay silent or speak up, to surrender or take control. Each choice we make shapes our story, and even in the face of uncertainty, there is strength to be found in
taking that next step forward."
This is a story of
hope, resilience, and choosing to rise
something we all need, now more than ever.
My deepest hope is that through my words, my journey, and my lessons, someone out there finds the inspiration to overcome, to grow, and to live their best life. That this book sparks real conversations about what truly matters—in life, and in death. Because life is unpredictable. It can be breathtakingly beautiful and heartbreakingly brutal, sometimes all at once. But we are not powerless.
Well. Here it is. My heart and soul.
I AM LOTUS is
raw. It 's real. It 's authentically me. A labor of love.
Sharing my life story has been one of the most vulnerable and humbling experiences of my life. My humanness, my struggles, my triumphs—it’s all out there for the world to see. I hesitated. I questioned myself. Did I really want my life on display? But in the end, I knew the message was bigger than me.
a story of hope & resilience
My mother once wrote
“Memories fade, but stories keep us connected long after we’re gone.
The written word is immortal.”
It was her wish that all of her children would one day write their own stories. So much has happened in my life that I felt the need to put pen to paper—not only to honor her, but to capture everything that has shaped me. All of the beauty and heartbreak. All of the lessons and wisdom.
What others are saying
This isn’t a book about grief. It’s a book about life.
About choosing to rise no matter what. About embracing who you are, who you’re becoming, and the endless possibilities ahead. So, if you’re looking for something raw, real, and written like we’re sitting together over coffee (or wine), this book is for you. And when you turn the last page, my wish is that you’ll look at your own life with new eyes and ask yourself:
