Confessions of a Neurodivergent Authentication Detective
When a Mall Disaster Becomes a Million-Dollar Skill
Picture this: You're standing in SM Baguio, minding your own business, when your knockoff designer bag literally explodes in front of a crowd of strangers. Your tampons roll across the floor like escaped hamsters, your dignity dies a very public death, and you're left wondering if rock bottom...
Previously published as Echoes From The Void: A Dance with Demons
The Girl Who Danced With Demons: Whispers from the Void is not a gentle tale. It is a raw, unflinching memoir of a childhood lost to betrayal, a womanhood forged in the fires of trauma, and the relentless battle to reclaim a life from the darkness within.
A Bipolar's Guide to Turning Chaos Into Creativity
Welcome to the circus—where the ringmaster has bipolar disorder, the acrobat just discovered she has ADHD, and the only thing more unpredictable than the business climate is what’s happening inside Sophia Cross’s brain.
Perfectly Unstable isn’t your typical business memoir. It’s a riotous, brutally honest, and surprisingly hopeful journey through...
Echoes from the Void is a brutally honest and deeply moving memoir that took me on a harrowing journey through Sophia Cross's traumatic past. From childhood abuse to addiction and the emergence of her alter ego. Her story is one of survival, pain, and the complexities of identity. I was left questioning whether this destructive path is a choice or the only way to endure.
The rawness of her struggle to integrate her fractured self makes this memoir both heartbreaking and eye-opening. Having experienced trauma firsthand, this book really challenges the usual ideas about trauma and healing. It shows how the line between victim and perpetrator can often be much blurrier than we think. With themes of addiction, mental health, and self-destruction, it's not an easy read (it took me a while to get through), but it offers a deep reflection on the price of survival and the hope of finding wholeness.
Echoes from the Void is a stark, unapologetic exploration of the darkness within, and the hope for healing that lies beyond it.
As a luxury authenticator, I see the aftermath of expensive decisions daily. The messages, the tears, the disbelief when someone discovers their "investment piece" is worth less than the shipping box it came in. But after years in this business, I've learned something crucial: we're not buying bags. We're buying therapy sessions that come with really expensive price tags.

The Status Billboard
That Chanel flap isn't just leather and metal—it's a walking announcement...
There’s a special kind of pain that comes from living with both PTSD and ADHD, a pain that’s invisible to most but all-consuming for those who carry it. For years, I did what I thought I was supposed to do: I masked my struggles, tried to blend in, worked all week, and forced myself into nights out on weekends just to appear “normal.” On the outside, I looked like everyone else. On the inside, I was falling apart.
The Cost of Masking Masking is the daily, relentless act of hiding your true self...
You see a face, a name, a story filtered through rumor and shadow. But you don't know the weight I carry, the scars I hide beneath practiced smiles and careful words. You don't know the battles I've fought just to stand here—whole, if not unbroken.
People are quick to judge. They see the choices I make, the masks I wear, and they think they have me figured out. Cruel names, whispered betrayals, sideways glances—I've collected them all, like stones in my pockets, reminders of...
