Her literary work later expanded with EMBRACE The 7 Stages of Grief, a comprehensive workbook, journal, and educational curriculum developed from years of research and lived experience.

Throughout her life, MiMi has stood beside beauty counters, film sets, hospital beds, and writing desks, collecting stories of heartbreak, courage, reinvention, and hope. These experiences continue to shape the emotional authenticity of her work. As a screenwriter, author, and creative consultant, MiMI is drawn to stories that explore what happens after life changes us. Her work frequently centers on loss, redemption, resilience, and the enduring search for meaning. The stories that break us are often the stories that remake us.
