Cocoonery
A Memoir

Book Cover & Preview Text
It was almost a cry that morning, a dry heaving from a man I thought I knew. As the washed-out sun climbed through the blinds and filled the room with an awareness of time, he climbed into our bed. There was no delay in words. “I’m so sorry, and I did it again” fell from his mouth. He didn’t have to push them. They just fell. And what followed became a screaming static that filled the room. I had lost the signal. That was the moment. I remember the minutes—or seconds—each one singular, each one the sum of all our years, who we were.

About the Book
At just 30 years old, Asha Bodhi seemed to have it all—a loving husband, beautiful twin babies, a charming home in a picturesque neighborhood, and a circle of friends and family. But beneath the surface, something felt off. She grappled with a loss of identity, the weight of labels like “mom” and “wife,” and the quiet ache of not knowing who she truly was. Then came a life-altering event that shattered the illusion and sent her spiraling inward. What followed was a descent into her own private cocoonery—a sacred, messy, and transformative space where she began the painful but necessary work of becoming. Cocoonery chronicles the events that served as catalysts for Ash’s soul evolution. In this, her debut novel, she lays bare her truth with unflinching honesty, illuminating the raw beauty of shadow work and the metamorphosis of self. It’s a story of unraveling and rebuilding, of shedding and emerging—a testament to the power of vulnerability and the courage it takes to grow wings.
