SOIGNÉE Lifestyle Publications – Grateful, Grounded, and Growing: Celebrating Writers, Thinkers and Creatives Paperback – October 29, 2025

November feels like a deep breath. The world slows down, the table fills up, and gratitude takes center stage. This month, Soignée Lifestyle Magazine leans into the beauty of reflection, the power of feminine freedom, and the art of living well—on your own terms. Inside this issue, we honor women who built empires from faith and grit. We sit with ReShonda Tate as she opens up about her latest novel and the stories that shaped her. We talk love, purpose, and partnership with Greg and Carolyn Napier. And we explore what freedom looks like after loss, heartbreak, or reinvention. Meet our 10 featured authors!Every page holds a reminder to pause and feel proud of what you’ve survived, who you’ve become, and how you show up in the world. We talk softness without apology, success without burnout, and gratitude without pretending everything’s perfect. This November issue is a toast to abundance—the kind that can’t be measured in money or likes. It’s about choosing peace, protecting joy, and being so grounded in who you are that the holidays feel like home again.
