Whispers from the Heart
A journey of love, loss, and reclaiming the self.
Whispers from the Heart is a tender, soul-stirring collection of reflections, poetic truths, and raw revelations from a woman who spent decades loving deeply, giving endlessly, and slowly learning to listen to the one voice she had long silenced—her own.
Through gentle strength, and unflinching honesty, Porcia invites readers into the hidden corners of her heart. This is not a book of bitterness—it is a book of becoming. A portrait of a woman who stood quietly behind others’ dreams, only to wake up one day and realize hers were still waiting.

With each page, she pulls back the curtain on a love that felt like home until it didn’t. On the sacrifices that were praised, but never replenished. On the dreams set aside “just for now” that turned into decades. But most powerfully, on the moment she chose herself—not out of anger, but out of love.

From quiet kitchens to crashing waves, from early motherhood to late-night reckonings, Renee captures what it means to grieve the love you gave and never got back. To be unseen in your own life—and to rise anyway.

Whispers from the Heart is not just a book. It’s a mirror for every woman who ever felt like an option. It’s a lantern for those walking away from emotional entanglement, into the light of their own wholeness. And above all, it’s a whispered reminder:

You are allowed to want more. You are allowed to begin again. And your heart still has a voice.
