For The Love Of NICU by Melecia Harriott-Morant
Holding the line with you when your world turns upside down.
For the Love of NICU is a lifeline for families thrust into the high-stakes world of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), transforming moments of uncertainty into opportunities for hope, courage, and connection. Melecia Harriott-Morant, MSN-Ed, RN, HSE, is a seasoned clinical instructor with over sixteen (16) years of hands-on experience. This guide empowers parents to step off the sidelines and become confident advocates at their child’s bedside. Discover a gold-standard framework that turns the overwhelming ledge of medical crisis into a path toward resilience and parental leadership.
Through the innovative "Pit Crew" philosophy—where medical professionals become the family’s support team—parents reclaim their role as the driving force in their baby’s healing journey. The restorative womb hug strategy invites families to nurture connection even in the most clinical settings. Blending the expertise of a clinical manual with the heart of a memoir, this book offers an "insider-advocate" perspective, inspiring parents to collaborate fearlessly with the NICU team and remain the unwavering heart of their baby’s care.
At its core, this book is built on a foundation of radical inclusivity, weaving a "sacred horizon" approach throughout—so that every family, including those facing unimaginable loss, finds a sanctuary of dignity, compassion, and healing no matter the outcome.
For affiliates and digital partners, this book is more than a resource—it’s a movement. With a warm, professional style and a "Language of the Pit Crew" glossary that transforms clinical overwhelm into practical strength, For the Love of NICU gives parents the proof they’ve always needed: they are the essential partners their children have been waiting for. This is a call to legacy, hope, and empowered parenting that echoes far beyond the NICU walls.
Adrift Without My Anchor by Carin Seals
When my mother took her final breath, the currents of my life changed forever. The woman who grounded me, guided me, and steadied me through every storm was suddenly gone—and I was left adrift in uncharted waters.
In this deeply personal memoir, I share the raw truth of grieving my anchor, the moments that nearly pulled me under, and the faith and resilience that kept me afloat. Through memories, lessons, and the enduring love my mother left behind, I learned that even when the anchor is gone, its weight of love can still hold you steady.
For anyone navigating the deep waters of loss, Adrift Without My Anchor is both a hand to hold and a compass towards finding your way back to hope, healing and strength one moment at a time.
Becoming My Own Anchor Journal by Carin Seals
Becoming Your Own Anchor: A 52-Week Grief Healing Journal is a compassionate guide for anyone learning how to steady themselves after loss. When the person you once leaned on is gone, life can feel overwhelming—like the ground beneath you has shifted and nothing is familiar anymore. This journal was created to hold you through that uncertainty. This 52-week journey invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. Each week offers thoughtful prompts, reflections, affirmations, and mirror work practices designed to help you process your emotions, honor your memories, and uncover the strength that still lives within you.

You’ll discover what it means to become your own anchor: to create stability from within, to trust your own voice, and to return to yourself even in the hardest moments.
Whether you are fresh in your grief or years into your healing, this journal offers a safe, supportive space to grow, reflect, and rebuild—one week at a time. Your healing matters. Your story matters. And your strength is already within you. This journal will help you:
- Process grief in a safe, structured way

"Working with CYB was truly an amazing experience. From the very beginning, they made the entire writing and publishing process feel less overwhelming and more purposeful. CYB was patient beyond measure, compassionate, and fully invested in the work. At times, it felt like they cared for the project as if it were their own. That level of dedication made all the difference for me.
Before starting this journey, I had very little knowledge about the writing and publishing process. CYB walked me through each step with clarity and encouragement. They never made me feel rushed or inadequate. Instead, they created a space where I could learn, grow, and confidently move forward with my story. Throughout the process, I always felt supported.
While I still had to do the personal work of sharing my story and being present in the process, they provided the structure, guidance, and reassurance I needed. I was never left feeling like I had to figure things out on my own. Compared to others I spoke with before CYB, this service stood far above the rest. Their patience, compassion, and genuine commitment to helping authors bring their stories to life made the experience truly special. I am incredibly grateful for their support and the role they played in helping me birth my book to life."
Author and Inspirational Speaker
“I cannot speak highly enough of Debbie, an amazing author, editor, mentor, and coach galore! When I started writing my book four years ago, I felt stuck because I lacked direction and guidance to birth my dream book. I spent thousands of dollars on publishing costs and believed my book would end up in the dumpster. However, Debbie saved the day!
Not only did Debbie share techniques, tips, and step-by-step strategies for publishing my book, she worked tirelessly to revise, edit, and lay out my manuscript to the highest standards! Consequently, my book was published and became an Amazon bestseller in many categories. Debbie’s high level of professionalism and warm, down-to-earth personality are a rare, refreshing, and most welcoming to the daunting process of writing and publishing a book.
I highly recommend Debbie for anyone wanting to write a book and receive stellar, top-notch coaching, mentoring, and support in every way and every stage of writing. She will help you step into your writing journey and emerge as a published author.”
