Author • Teacher • Mother • Storyteller • Believer in New Beginnings

Hi, I'm Yolande Le Roux, a South African author, teacher, mother, adventurer, and someone who believes deeply that no matter what life puts in front of us, there is always another chapter waiting to be written.

My life hasn't followed a perfect path.

I've experienced love and heartbreaking loss. I've struggled with my weight and transformed my health. I've faced grief, started over more than once, lived and taught abroad, run marathons, climbed mountains, raised my children, laughed through difficult days, cried through others, and learned that sometimes our greatest strength is simply choosing to get up and try again.

My books were born from those experiences.

I don't write because I have life completely figured out. I write because I've lived through moments when I didn't.

Through books about healing, health, confidence, mental wellbeing, relationships and personal growth, I hope to create the kind of words I would have wanted beside me during some of the hardest chapters of my own life.

My faith is an important part of who I am. It has taught me that even when we cannot understand the road we're walking, hope can still exist. I believe in kindness, forgiveness, gratitude, laughter, adventure and treating people gently because we never truly know what someone else is carrying.

I'm also a teacher at heart. Helping others learn, grow and believe in themselves has been part of my life for many years, and that same heart follows me into my writing.

You'll notice something else about my books:

They're real.

Real struggles.

Real emotions.

Real lessons.

Real mistakes.

Real healing.

I want my readers to know that it's okay not to be okay. You don't have to have a perfect life to create a beautiful one.

Whether you found me through Simply Healthy, Healing After Heartbreak, Finding Yourself Again, Between Tears and Sunlight, one of my journals, or another book still waiting to be written, I hope you leave my pages feeling a little more hopeful than when you arrived.

If my words help even one person stand up again, choose themselves, forgive themselves, smile again, or believe that their story isn't over, then sharing mine was worth it.

With love,

Yolande Le Roux

Author of stories about healing, hope, growth and the beautiful courage to begin again. ❤️🌻
