She Speaks in Petals: Poetry for Women on the Path to Self-Discovery

She is more than her scars. More than her titles. More than what the world has named her.

This is She Speaks in Petals, a powerful collection for women who have carried love, loss, resilience, and transformation in their bones. With unflinching honesty and tender strength, these poems walk the edge between vulnerability and power, speaking to the woman you are, the woman you've been, and the woman you are still becoming.
If you've ever searched for words that make you feel seen, understood, and less alone, this book will meet you there.
Inside these pages, you will find:

• Identity & Inner World - poems that name the quiet truths and hidden parts of self we learn to embrace
• Struggle & Survival - tributes to the women who carry invisible burdens and still rise
• Love & Connection - celebrations of intimacy, belonging, and the bonds that hold us
• Power & Purpose - rallying cries to lead, protect, and act when the world needs us most
• Healing & Transformation - reflections on growing through what tried to break you, and stepping into your own rebirth

These poems are written in a style that blurs the lines between free verse and prose poetry. It's raw, conversational, and intimate. Some read like a friend leaning in to tell you the truth you needed to hear. Others rise like a call to arms, fierce with love and urgency. All of them hold space for your story.
You'll also find:

• "Her" perspective pieces that read like personal letters, grounding each section in lived experience
• Short, powerful rally poems, words you could stand on a rooftop and shout
• Gentle, unflinching reflections on identity, resilience, and what it means to rise again
• An immersive flow that mirrors a woman's inner journey, from self-discovery to becoming

About the Author: Heidi Prowse OAM is an award-winning changemaker, community leader, and advocate. Her work in mental health, leadership, and community engagement has touched countless lives, but it's her personal experiences of love, loss, and resilience that shape her poetry.
Through her writing, Heidi offers women a mirror, one that reflects both their strength and their softness, their struggles and their triumphs. She believes in meeting people where they are, and her poems carry that same compassion and authenticity.

This is for the woman who has been told she's too much or not enough.
For the one who has loved fiercely and lost deeply.
For the one still becoming.
