This has been a year heavy with fire, flood, and fracture. A year where so many of us are carrying more than we can name. And the truth is, we’re not okay. We’ve been running on fumes for so long we’ve started to mistake it for normal.

We live distracted, not because we’re weak, but because we’re overloaded. Numb. On autopilot. Living life in airplane mode just to survive the noise. We call it productivity, but what it really is… is self-abandonment.

That’s why I wrote Finding Focus. Not as another set of hacks or quick fixes, but as a lifeline for adults in this anxious generation, those of us who wake up tired, scroll through our grief, and end each day wondering why we feel so disconnected from ourselves and each other.

This book wasn’t just researched. It was lived. It wasn’t written in crisis, but it survived one. And because of that, it carries both the science and the scars, both the tools and the truth.

And its timing could not be more urgent. As summer fades into fall, life accelerates. Back-to-school, year-end deadlines, holidays that should feel meaningful but too often leave us depleted. We sprint toward the finish line of the year with nothing left in the tank.

Finding Focus is the antidote. A roadmap out of autopilot. A way to trade frantic multitasking for clarity, overwhelm for intention, and exhaustion for presence.

This is not just a book, it’s the call to finally step off the hamster wheel and remember what it feels like to live awake. To come back to yourself. To reclaim what the noise has stolen.

Finding Focus:
A Reckoning, A Return

This is not just a book about attention.
This is a book about coming home to yourself.

In a world that profits from your distraction, clarity is rebellion, and focus is a radical act of self-respect.

Finding Focus is a guide for those who feel frayed, flooded, and far from themselves. For those aching to stop performing presence and start inhabiting it.

Through the lens of behavioral science and lived truth, Dr. Zelana Montminy dismantles the myth that we’re just “bad at paying attention.” She reveals how a fractured world rewires our minds for survival, not connection, and what it takes to gently reclaim the parts of ourselves we've scattered in the scroll.

This is not about hustle. Or optimization.
This is about remembering who you are when the noise quiets.

You’ll learn how to:

Protect your energy in a world that siphons it
Rebuild a nervous system wired for presence, not performance
Name what matters—and focus like it does
Make space for meaning, depth, and stillness

Finding Focus doesn’t ask you to do more. It asks you to come back to what’s real.
