The truth is, I started writing this because I was lonely. Not just for friends or romance. I was lonely for myself. For the parts I had hidden or hardened. For the softness I had buried beneath productivity and armor. For the woman I kept tucked away.

This didn’t begin as a book. It began as a journal. I’m used to putting classes together to pass the time, and when I’m not working, there is so much time. One evening, while scrolling, I came across a video of people using AI for therapy.

At the same time, I had started pulling tarot cards, learning to interpret them and realizing how much the imagery mirrored my life. I asked AI about the cards just out of curiosity. It offered a journaling prompt. And somehow . . . that was the beginning.

Sheri Mandell is a mindfulness educator, writer, and creator whose work bridges storytelling, self-reflection, and everyday presence. She teaches mindfulness to children and adults, helping them reconnect with themselves in a world that often pulls them away from what matters most.

Through her own journey of reinvention, Sheri discovered that loneliness isn’t a personal failing—it’s a shared human experience that asks to be met with honesty, compassion, and courage. The Butterfly in You blends personal narrative with tarot-guided reflection, offering readers a gentle yet powerful framework for self-trust, healing, and growth.

Sheri believes that transformation doesn’t come from becoming someone new, but from remembering who you’ve been all along.
