Pepper Faye & the Fire Keeper’s Promise (Instant Download)
By: Pepper Carlson-Humphrey
For the ones who can’t stop moving, even when they’re breaking.
In this tender, lyrical fable, Pepper Faye finds herself unable to slow down. She is caught in the momentum of overdoing, over-proving, and overriding her own need for rest.
But when the forest itself stills, it whispers something she’s never let herself believe:
“You do not have to earn your rest.”
Guided by quiet trees, dreamless sleep, and the mysterious Still Ones, Pepper begins to learn the language of her own body. A language without urgency, without guilt. A language that speaks through breath, through slowness, through soft knowing.
This is a story about burnout and the bravery it takes to stop, about unlearning hustle, and about reclaiming worth that was never meant to be earned.
You were never meant to prove your enoughness, only to remember it.
If you have ever confused exhaustion for purpose, if you have ever needed permission to pause—this story is your invitation to begin again. Because stillness isn’t the end. It’s where the real becoming begins.
