Sex + Soul

I wrote a book about sex, soul & the sacred chaos — you’re welcome.


Men I Met While Becoming Her is what happens when real life gets rewritten — where heartbreak becomes holy, humor becomes healing, and the truth hides between the lines of fiction. It’s raw, irreverent, and wildly relatable — part memoir, part made-up, all medicine.


This isn’t your typical self-help story or breakup survival guide — it’s a love letter to chaos, clarity, and the art of turning pain into plot twists. I didn’t write this book to clean up the mess; I wrote it to show that sometimes the most honest stories are the ones we tell through a little creative distortion — because the line between truth and transformation is always a little blurry.

Join my inner circle for first looks at new chapters, behind-the-scenes stories, and the sacred mess that didn’t make it into the book.

You’ll get early access to excerpts, podcast drops, and preorder perks — basically, all the juicy things I only share with my people.


This book is for the ones rebuilding themselves in real time — mascara-streaked, coffee-fueled, half feral, fully divine. Men I Met While Becoming Her isn’t just a story; it’s a mirror. And if you see yourself in these pages… it’s because you were never the supporting character. You were always the main one.

Men I Met While Becoming Her blurs the line between fiction and memoir — a bold, brazen exploration of heartbreak, healing, and humor as modern alchemy. Written by Ava Marie Anderson, creator of The Synaptic Soul Podcast, the book unpacks what happens when real life becomes a story too wild not to tell.

It’s raw, irreverent, and unflinchingly honest — part confessional, part cosmic comedy — chronicling the messy, magical process of becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
