After a lifetime of seeking all things spiritual, wellness, and at times woo-woo, Paige Davis finds herself facing a breast cancer diagnosis at thirty-eight years old. She quickly realizes, however, that cancer is not her crisis point but a landing pad of experiences that’s inviting her to integrate her mind, body, and spirit. Ultimately, she embraces her diagnosis through a lens of love rather than as a battle to be fought—a perspective that allows her to find peace in the present moment, and heal from the inside out. In Here We Grow, Davis provides a refreshing new paradigm of integrative living that doesn’t deny the hardship of a situation, but instead encourages meeting difficulty through embodied heart-centered presence. Utilizing mindfulness, meditation, and mind-body disciplines, she shares a tool kit for transformation as she learns to befriend her body, cope through compassion, face survivor’s guilt, create a “new normal” post treatment, and discover the unexpected awakening of intuition and open-heartedness in the healing journey. Filled with honesty, humor, and present-moment awareness that reveals our true capacity for joy, connection, grace, and resilience, Here We Grow is Davis’s story of meeting fear and uncertainty with mindfulness, meaning, and the unconditional love inherent in us all.

Dr Yogesh Gupta became a degree holder of Medicine in the year 2003. He is practicing since then in city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. In 20 years of practice and 10 years of studies before that has given him an insight of Indian healthcare system. He has seen many changes happening in this period from nursing home culture to corporate hospital culture. From cash patient to cashless patient to free treatment culture in India. In between he got married to a beautiful intelligent wife, a research scientist Dr. Geeta Gupta. Both of them were blessed with two beautiful angel’s daughter Manya and Arayna. Their presence gave him a purpose in life apart from service to patients. He strongly believes that in medical education and medical practice there is a huge difference. Medical education is good enough to provide a degree to practice. But real thing starts when we practice that medicine in real situations. The book that we read, the lectures we attended and the theory we cramped for exams where only to get degree. Then what happens when the doctor start practicing, he or she always feels that they were cheated during education. So much was left untouched during studies. Knowing and learning about Indian healthcare led to a belief that we are at a crossroad. Either we choose to go and become an Americanized healthcare or we choose to create our own safe and healthy Indian healthcare. But till this is decided by intelligent people and policy makers of India he decided to play safe. Increasing cases of medical negligence, violence against doctors, tirade by media, slavery by corporate hospitals and bullying insurance companies have become a way of life. Let’s hope we doctors learn it right and we all pray that we can practice in peace. This is his second book. First book was Covid diaries: Virus vs. We. Writing that book and then looking to the response from the medical fraternity motivated him to write this journey of his. This is non-fiction account of his medical practice. He is sure that doctors will relate to each of the story account. His hope is that medical profession deserves more in India.
