About Me

My name is Audrey Galen Nestor.  Audrey means "strong."  Galen means "healer."  Nestor means "traveler."  How incredibly brilliant, that this name represents all that I am right this very moment.  I am a writer, writing myself into characters that celebrate all my strengths.  I am a mother, and a survivor, and I am healing.  Because I cannot travel at the moment, I have been ever so grateful for the power of the internet. I now have the ability to travel virtually all over the world, fly first class, and enjoy all the natural beauty and culture I can get my eyes on.  To all my travel vloggers: an abundance of gratitude, my friends. 

Join me, as we travel around the world and find adventure, humor, and hot steamy romance, one keynote speaker at a time.  

I have a tribe of beautiful souls.  They have always been there for me, even though some are new members and some are the founding tribeshumans.  Regardless, their perfectly flawed selves have shepherded me through the darkest days of my life on earth so far.  Each time my own "sparkle" dimmed, they surrounded me with their white light, casting out all darkness, fear, and anxiety.  They remind me whenever I need it that I am not alone, I have never been truly alone, and I never will be.  I would not be who I am today without my tribe. 

I am a survivor of domestic violence.  I began using writing as a method of healing shortly after I was relocated for my safety in 2019.  I wrote when I was sad.  I wrote when I was angry. I wrote when I was afraid.  I wrote when I was confused, overwhelmed, or unsure.  I still do all that, but now I also write when I am happy.  I write when I am hopeful.  I write when I am feeling really good about myself, and when I need a little reminder I am exactly who I am meant to be.  I will keep writing, and healing, and learning.  Most importantly, though, I will keep telling my story, because domestic violence is very real.  Until it happened to me, I had no idea how easily it happens.  Talk about it my friends.  Relationship abuse is very real, and it starts in such a way that anyone would have a hard time seeing it for what it really is.  The voices of survivors need to be heard, not just by therapists and law enforcement.  I hear you.  Keep talking, and don't ever go silent.
