In this powerful episode of Write to Rise, I sit down with Alicia Thompson, the first published author under Ho'ala Publishing House, to talk about her transformational book, Courageous Compassion.

Alicia shares her deeply moving journey of healing, awakening, and stepping into authorship with fierce grace. We dive into:

* How writing became a tool for reclaiming her voice

* The story behind Courageous Compassion and the message she hopes every reader takes away

* What it looked like to write her book in just 10 days

* How her book is now becoming the foundation for a larger community and movement for conscious healing

* Her vision for the Courageous Compassion Center, a space where healers come home to themselves

This is more than a story about publishing—it’s a story about purpose, embodiment, and the power of telling your truth.

✨ If you've ever felt the nudge to write your story, this episode will remind you what’s possible when you say yes.
