🟥 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TRULY HEARD YOURSELF?
Not your roles. Not your to-do list.
You. Fully. No mask. No function.
🟧 This book is not a new self-help plan.
It is a return.
To your voice.
To your quiet.
Maybe for the first time – right now.
🟨 For women who…
• give everything to everyone – yet lose themselves,
• have always been strong – but don’t want to be anymore,
• keep smiling – though their heart is quietly calling out,
• wonder, “Where did I go?”,
• feel: It’s time. Not for more discipline. But for me.
🟩 What this book gives you:
A place.
A breath.
A sentence that doesn’t push you – but gently holds you.
And rituals that aren’t about changing you –
but about bringing you home.
Tender. Real. Quiet.
🟦 What you’ll find inside:
• “Stop Being Everything for Everyone”
• “Your Body Is Not a Project”
• “Love Shouldn’t Exhaust You”
• “A Golden Hour Just for You”
• “Feminine Manifesto of Freedom”
Each ritual is an invitation.
You don’t need to achieve anything.
Just be present. And remember what it feels like to be alive.
🟪 You don’t need a plan.
You don’t need a revolution.
You only need one quiet moment
where you choose not to abandon yourself anymore.
Maybe that moment begins –
today. In the gentle light of a new morning.
🟫 “You are not broken.
You’re just tired of pretending you’re fine.”

Book start
(by Ayame Durand)
For you -
the one who feels too much
and waited too long for permission to come back to herself.
For you -
who doesn’t need another plan,
but a single tender “I see you.”
For you -
who isn’t looking for a revolution,
but for a quiet place where no one asks you to be someone else.
This book won’t lead you by the hand.
But it will stay close.
With tea. With silence. With presence.
In sisterly gratitude,
Ayame
✨Whisper of Ryū: You’re not broken. You’re just tired of pretending you’re okay.
You don’t have to be ready.
You don’t need a plan or discipline.
You don’t need to prove anything.
This book is not a checklist.
It’s an inner map - a return to yourself
through daily rituals, tenderness, and presence.
You can read it day by day.
Or open it intuitively - wherever it calls you.
You can linger with one ritual for a whole month, if you wish.
There is no wrong way.
Only one invitation:
read it the way you wish to be treated - with gentleness.
Some rituals come later.
Quietly. Slowly.
When you’re ready to hear them.
These are the Whisper-Rituals -
for the moments that don’t shout,
but call you the deepest.
Maybe you’re tired.
Maybe you’re done with being told to “stay strong.”
Maybe the world says you’re too sensitive, too soft, too emotional.
This book is for you.
Not to change you.
But to bring you back.
To yourself.
To your body.
To your voice.
To the light that never went out - it was only covered.
Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese word.
It means: that which makes life worth living.
It’s not about a grand mission.
It’s not about productivity.
It’s about feeling connected - every day -
to something that makes you feel alive.
Sometimes it’s tea in stillness.
A hand reaching out.
A quiet “enough.”
For a woman, Ikigai doesn’t have to be public.
Or spectacular.
It’s quiet.
Embodied.
Deep.
And it returns to you
the moment you begin to hear yourself -
louder than the world.
