NY, USI help women return to the rooms that shaped their identity and do the brave work of rewriting the beliefs that have been running their lives — so they can stop living small and start living whole.
April Day Garcia, COTA/L is an author, speaker, and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant with over 10 years of experience helping people rebuild their lives from the inside out.
Her debut memoir, The Room to Be Brave, hit #1 in Survival Biographies and Memoirs on Amazon and received an award through The BookFest. Drawing on her own journey through childhood instability, recovery, and breaking generational cycles, April developed the "rooms framework" — a powerful lens for understanding how unresolved experiences quietly shape identity, behavior, and belief.
Podcast hosts and event organizers describe April's presentations as "powerful, beautiful, thoughtful, and groundbreaking," with talks that are "well-crafted, professionally presented, and packed with meaning and symbolism." Audiences leave with a new understanding of why they've been avoiding certain "rooms" in their lives — and the practical courage to finally open the door.
She is the founder of the Find Your Joy Project, a community dedicated to helping people reconnect with who they were before life got complicated.
April speaks to women's organizations, recovery communities, healthcare professionals, and corporate audiences on the topics of bravery, identity, resilience, and joy.
