Welcome to Meet the Author, a show that takes you behind the scenes to meet the authors of today's most impactful books. This is a show about stories and ideas that will educate, encourage, and inspire you to live a richer, more meaningful life. Today, we're joined by Kirbee Miller, author of Nourish: A Guide to Coming Home to Yourself. On New Year's Eve 2018, a phone call changed Kirbee's life forever: a car accident left her mother in a coma and both her mother and stepfather unable to live independently.
In the years since, as she became their full-time caregiver while building a career in healthcare tech and, eventually, as an entrepreneur, Kirbee wrote her way back to herself. In Nourish, she offers readers the same tools that helped her: a guided journey of agreements, recipes, journaling, and honest reflection for anyone trying to find their way home to who they really are.
About Kirbee Miller and Nourish: Kirbee Miller built a career in biology, chemistry, and healthcare technology before a family tragedy on New Year's Eve 2018 changed the course of her life. A phone call, a coma, and years of caregiving followed, alongside the quiet unraveling of a life she'd built around achievement and compartmentalization. Kirbee found her way back to herself through writing, and eventually through cooking, journaling, and the practices that would become the foundation of Nourish: A Guide to Coming Home to Yourself.
Structured as a journey rather than a manual, Nourish opens with a set of personal agreements the reader signs alongside Kirbee, then moves through sections on rebuilding trust with yourself, nourishing your body through recipes (with an accompanying playlist), and guided journaling built around the feelings wheel, a tool for putting honest, specific language to lived experience.
In Nourish, Kirbee invites readers who feel like they're "fading away in plain sight" to rediscover what it means to show up for themselves in small, sustainable ways, even in seasons that don't look anything like what they planned.
