Write to Stay™ reminds you that healing isn’t about perfection but permission, helping you stay grounded, self-aware, and ready for the road ahead.
I am Dr. DeShaun Williams, an award-winning author, inspirational speaker, mental wellbeing expert, and suicide attempt survivor who uses the power of writing to help others heal. My journey with journaling began as a way to navigate anxiety, depression, and the weight of overthinking. Over time, the page became my safe place; a space where healing began and clarity followed. Now, I help others discover that same sense of peace, purpose, and restoration through writing.
Through Write to Stay, I create tools and resources that encourage people to process their emotions, find their voices, and reconnect with themselves through reflection and storytelling. As a speaker, I lead meaningful conversations about writing through depression and anxiety, healing from grief on the page, the connection between mental health and storytelling, and rediscovering yourself after silence.
Whether I’m sharing on stage, in classrooms, or through community spaces, my message remains the same: you are not alone, and your words have power.
My mission is simple; To remind people that healing begins when you give yourself permission to write through what you’ve lived.
Explore a collection of guided journals, affirmations, and emotional wellness tools created to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Every page is an invitation to heal, grow, and stay grounded in who you are becoming.

Meeting you changed my life. You reminded me that healing doesn’t always come from comfort, sometimes it comes from connection. Even when we didn’t see eye to eye, I’m grateful for the space you held and the strength you showed. I’m thankful you’re still here, because your story became part of mine, and your presence reminded me what care truly looks like.
