When the Birch Peels - Erinne Magee

Like the birch tree shedding its paper-thin bark, this collection invites you to peel back the layers you’ve outgrown and return to the raw, luminous self within.

Part poetry, part soulful pep talks, When the Birch Peels is a companion for anyone who has ever wrestled with perfection, the fear or being seen, inherited wounds, or the longing to live more fully. Through tender words and grounded wisdom, Erinne Magee offers gentle reminders and fierce encouragement to:

• Use your voice

• Release the need for external validation

• Root into your truth and worthiness

• Return to joy, connection, and possibility

Organized into four sections—Revealing, Releasing, Rooting, and Returning—this book mirrors the cycles of nature and the seasons of healing. It’s a reminder that peeling back is not loss, but growth; not weakness, but wild-hearted strength.

Whether you’re journaling by candlelight, walking through the woods, or simply needing a moment of reassurance, these poems and pep talks meet you where you are—and nudge you toward who you’ve always been.

For the seekers, the feelers, the ones in the middle of becoming: this is for you.
