About the Author

Nicole R. Valentine always noticed hidden stories behind every smile. As a child, she sensed the weight of unspoken struggles in her community—parents haunted by past pain, teens who carried anxiety alone. Driven by curiosity and compassion, she traded textbooks for volunteer work in youth centers during college, guiding at-risk teens through art therapy and journaling. There, she discovered a profound truth: when we lose sight of our inner compass, we drift away from the destiny meant for us.

Fueled by faith and empathy, Nicole authored The Inner Compass series: activity books blending creative exercises with thoughtful prompts to help young readers navigate emotions, confront fears, and rediscover purpose. Drawing on personal memories of climbing trees at dawn and dancing in sudden rainstorms, she invites readers to explore their inner landscapes with playfulness and honesty.

Today, Nicole’s mission is simple: spark curiosity about our emotions, build resilience, and remind every reader that they hold the power to chart their own course. Through her books, workshops, and speaking engagements, she offers a playful yet profound toolkit for self-discovery, guiding each individual back to their true north and the possibilities that await beyond uncertainty. Her work has reached hundreds of schools, counseling centers, and thousands of young readers worldwide, sowing seeds of hope one page at a time.
