Truthseekers Journey was born from a spark between two paths. Leonard introduced me to the work of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, and together we spent countless conversations reflecting on where we each were along that timeless path. At the same time, I was working as a nanny, witnessing how children make sense of the world through stories, while Leonard was guiding adults as a personality transformation coach.
Out of these shared experiences grew a simple but powerful idea: what if children could see themselves as the hero of their own journey? From that question, the Truthseekers series took shape — weaving myth, imagination, and life lessons into stories that empower young readers to discover courage, friendship, and the magic of truth.
