I’m Trying - Releasing June 15, 2026
Have you ever looked around and wondered why life seems harder for you than it does for everyone else?
Why simple tasks feel impossible.
Why you're exhausted all the time.
Why you keep trying so hard...and still feel behind.
For years, Tracy Lynn Gray believed she was lazy, broken, disorganized, emotional, and failing at life.
She was wrong.
In I'm Trying..., Tracy shares her deeply personal journey through anxiety, ADHD, executive dysfunction, perfectionism, shame, and the invisible weight so many women carry every day.
With honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, she explores:
- Why you're exhausted even when you've done "nothing"
- The hidden mental load women carry every day
- ADHD and executive dysfunction in women
- Why motivation isn't the problem
- The shame cycle that keeps you stuck
- How tiny wins create real change
- Why soft structure works when rigid systems fail
- How to stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself
This isn't a book about becoming more productive.
It's a book about becoming more compassionate with yourself.
If you've ever felt lazy, overwhelmed, scattered, too emotional, not enough, too much, or like you're somehow failing at life, this book is for you.
Because maybe you were never broken.
Maybe you were trying.
Tiny Tragedies
We don’t mean to miss it.
But we do.
Every day, in ordinary moments, we move quickly through our lives—reacting, assuming, deciding what things mean before we’ve truly seen the people in front of us.
And in those moments, something important is lost.
Tiny Tragedies is a thoughtful, deeply human reflection on the quiet misunderstandings, assumptions, and missed connections that shape our everyday lives.
Through relatable stories and gentle insight, Tracy Lynn Gray explores what happens when we begin to slow down long enough to notice:
the stories we create about other people
the reactions we have without realizing it
the tension we carry from constantly assuming, interpreting, and reacting
the humanity we often miss in ourselves and others
This isn’t a book about becoming perfect.
It’s about becoming more aware.
More intentional.
More connected.
As the book unfolds, readers are invited to reflect on their own reactions, relationships, and patterns through quiet moments of insight and thoughtful questions designed to stay with them long after the final page.
For readers who enjoy reflective, emotionally insightful books about mindfulness, empathy, human behavior, personal growth, anxiety, and self-awareness, Tiny Tragedies offers a calm, compassionate reminder:
Sometimes the smallest shift in how we see people… changes everything.

How To Teach Your Elephant To Sit: A Kid’s Book About Managing Anxiety
Sometimes anxiety can feel as a BIG as an elephant!
Reagan is a little girl who has anxiety that feels as a big as an elephant. Her elephant follows her everywhere she goes, and he’s always in her way. It’s time to teach that elephant some manners!
Why? Because NOBODY wants an elephant in their soup! (And no kid wants anxiety to stop them from doing what they want to do!)
With just a LITTLE help from this delightful guide, you can teach your elephant to sit (and leave room for your BIG feelings.)
Reader Reviews:
"This story was all about Reagan and her struggle with her anxiety. As I read through the book, I could so accurately feel what Reagan was feeling when her feelings became too big and consumed her whole with no place to go. As a person with a pretty big battle with anxiety and panic attacks since childhood, I was able to relate so well with Reagan. I love how the author showed us exactly how Reagan was feeling and then introduced some strategies little by little for her to use to try and manage the anxiety. By naming her big feelings and then actively addressing them in a developmentally appropriate way, Reagan was able to be so brave and begin to manage her big feelings. This was a great story and a perfect introduction to little ones about how to start addressing their big feelings and communicating their needs when the feelings got to be too much."

“I love the examples in the book…the times where those anxiety feelings come out for kids…I think this will help readers understand the connection between the elephant representing anxiety."
- Nancy A.
“I have an elephant too, Mama. I didn’t know everyone has one. I will have to teach my elephant how to behave too”
-Audrey, age 7
“This children’s book was well written in a relatable way for all early school age children to understand. It was beautifully written in a relaxed and comical way for children to relate and learn to identify their anxiety as well separate themselves as individuals from their anxieties and learn to overcome “big feelings”. Well done!”
- Audrey's Mom, Christin Y.
