🚨MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
2 months ago at the Determine Your Destiny conference we rolled out our self publishing coaching packages.
We're currently working on 5 books with clients from that night. And I'm ecstatic to bring to you our first completed project and newest AUTHOR!🤯🤯
Over the years, I’ve watched her pour herself into everyone around her. Into our family. Into her business. Into her employees. Into her community. Into being a mother, a leader, a spouse, a daughter, a sister, a chef, a restaurateur, and an entrepreneur.
But what many people have never seen is the writer.
For over 20 years, Evie Little has written poetry by hand in personal journals and notebooks, the old-fashioned way.
Real thoughts. Real emotions. Real experiences. Raw, honest reflections written during different seasons of life.
Not for attention.
Not for applause.
Not for social media.
Just truth on paper.
And now, for the first time ever, she’s stepping outside of her comfort zone and allowing the world to read those pages.
That takes courage.
That takes vulnerability.
And honestly… that takes tenacity.
Her upcoming book,
Candle Smoke Confessions:
An Empath’s Subconscious
Is a compilation of her original poetry and personal writings collected over the last two decades and transformed into more than 150 pages of heart-warming, thought-provoking, and mind-shifting poetic justice.
This book is for the people who have felt deeply.
Loved deeply.
Lost deeply.
Struggled silently.
Healed slowly.
And still somehow kept going.
I truly believe her words are going to help people feel understood, seen, and less alone.
And what makes this project even more meaningful is that Evie met with the local Samaritan House today, and they’ve officially agreed to partner with and support this vision. 10% of all book sales will be donated directly to the organization! 🚀🎊💪🔥
Which makes this partnership even more powerful.
Because alongside Evie is our publishing partner — a former district attorney with a background in domestic violence advocacy and a woman who has dedicated much of her life to helping others find their voice and reclaim their power.
Two strong, independent Latina women.
Two mothers.
Two entrepreneurs.
Two leaders.
Coming together through purpose, partnership, and shared life experience to impact the lives of other women.
That’s powerful.
Because while many people know Evie as the longtime owner of Gringo’s at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront…
What this book is going to reveal is who she truly is underneath all of the titles.
A beautiful soul.
A deep thinker.
A healer.
A creator.
A woman with something meaningful to say.
And now, she’s finally ready to share it with the world.
I couldn’t be more proud of her.💯❤️
Our first published client being the same person that supported me through so much is just incredible. I can't stop crying🤷♂️😢 Tears of joy of course!🙏🚀
Presale available May 30th, book goes live June 30th! Links COMING SOON🔥🎊🎊🔥
