We created the Birthing the Magic Book Club to foster community, spark real conversation, and create space for us to learn (and unlearn) together.

In a world that often feels busy and disconnected, books force us to slow down, reflect, and gather around shared experiences.

Whether we’re exploring health, family, or joy, we’re here to build meaningful connections with people who share a love for learning and growing.

Read, reflect, and grow with us.

Removing the Mask with Dr. Priscilla Hubbard

Healing and the Journey from Pain to Purpose.

How do you build an extraordinary life after living through circumstances that could have changed everything?

Dr. Priscilla Hubbard knows.

She survived domestic violence, homelessness, and devastating loss, facing the demands of motherhood while navigating realities no woman should have to endure, alongside steep professional barriers.

But her story doesn't end there.

Dr. Hubbard went on to earn a doctorate, build a career spanning over 25 years, teach at the university level, and now tell the story behind the résumé.

In her book, Removing the Mask: From Pain to Purpose, Dr. Hubbard takes us behind the accomplished leader the world sees to reveal the woman who fought to reclaim her safety, identity, voice, and future.

This conversation explores intimate partner violence and the complex realities that make abuse difficult to recognize, disclose, or leave. But it also goes where these conversations rarely do: What happens after survival?

How do you rebuild when life has taken so much? How do you pursue ambition, love, joy, and purpose without allowing trauma to become your defining story? And how can our families and communities better show up for women carrying unseen burdens?

This is a conversation about intimate partner violence—but even more, it is a conversation about power, possibility, and the extraordinary act of building a life on the other side of pain.

Join us for an intimate dialogue that reminds us all: what happened to you may be part of your story, but it is never the final chapter.
