In a world that often demands we rush, The Breath Before Becoming dares us to pause.

From celebrated poet, visionary writer, and Editor-in-Chief of EGW Global Magazine, Monica Lofstrom, comes a soul-stirring new release that invites readers into the quiet, incandescent space between what was and what will be.

Elegant in tone and profound in message, The Breath Before Becoming is more than a book—it’s a visceral experience of unfolding. It begins in the stillness of a soul waiting to be born and evolves into the luminous story of a woman becoming—nurtured by love, transformed by light, and awakened by grace. Told in Monica’s signature lyrical voice, every page is an offering, every sentence a soft opening of the heart.

This follow-up to her acclaimed debut Untethered Light continues Monica’s poetic legacy, but with a deeper sense of embodiment. If Untethered Light was the moment a soul remembered itself, The Breath Before Becoming is the moment it chose to live—fully, freely, fiercely.

“It’s the breath before the bloom,” Monica shares, seated by a window spilling golden light. “The stillness before the rise. I wrote this for the women who carry stories in their bones, and for the souls who know that light often arrives in whispers.”

There is a quiet luxury in Monica Lofstrom’s writing—an understated richness that doesn't clamor for attention but commands it with emotional elegance. Her language moves like silk across the skin, carrying the reader deeper into a reflective, almost sacred space.

Each chapter of The Breath Before Becoming feels like entering a gallery of intimate moments—curated with care, composed with reverence. It’s a book meant to be read slowly, savored like fine tea, or tucked beside linen sheets and handwritten letters.

And yet, beneath its softness, there is power. Monica’s voice is one of quiet revolution—reminding women of their brilliance, their inner light, and the unshakable truth that becoming is not a destination, but a divine unfolding.

In an age of noise, Monica has given us a sanctuary. In a season of speed, she offers a breath.
