Start living "I GET TO."

The Mind Body Spirit HYGIENE™ Method — real tools, for real women, in the messy middle.

You woke up and didn't quite recognize the woman in the mirror. Maybe you're divorced — or wish you were. Maybe a kid won't call you back. Maybe your bloodwork keeps coming back "normal" while your body screams something else. Maybe you said yes when you meant no — again — and you're sitting in the cost of it.

This book is for her.

About the Author

Temple Franklin built this method because no elder was in the room when she needed one.

Adopted at birth. Married twenty-two years to a life that was eroding emotionally for years. Mother to three daughters and the slow grief of estrangement. Brought down to the studs by undeniable grief, Hashimoto's, and a breast cancer scare.

She trained for three years with a renowned meditation teacher. She sat with mediums. She researched Mind, Body, and Spirit for over twenty years — because no one had given her the language. And then, one ordinary morning at the kitchen trash can, three words landed in the middle of her chest: I GET TO.

That moment cracked open everything that became this work. So she became the elder she needed. This is the inheritance she had to build from scratch — and the one she's handing to you.

What early readers are saying

I just finished your book. BLEW ME AWAY! I am so in awe of you. I loved every part of it — it took me some time, but I loved that, because I was able to take in each chapter. I loved the acronyms and breakdown of words, and building new neural pathways to what those words mean for you. I hope the launch of your book was a MASSIVE success, because not only is this a book, but a tool that needs to be studied and applied in many people's lives.

Honest answers

Before you order

When will my book arrive?

The first paperback edition shipped via Lulu in early June 2026 — and within hours of holding the proof in our own hands, we made a decision: the trim size needed to be larger, the interior cleaner, and the paper finer than what v1 delivered. So we paused sales and pulled the book back into production for an upgraded premium edition. Drop your email in the form above and you'll be the first to know the moment the premium edition opens for orders. The wait is short. The book is worth it.

Is the book a substitute for therapy or medical care?

No. This book is for inspiration, reflection, and a daily practice of tuning in. It is not a substitute for medical, psychological, financial, legal, or therapeutic advice. Please consult qualified professionals for those needs. Your health — mental, physical, spiritual — is yours to steward.

Is this a Christian / spiritual / religious book?

It's written for the woman tapping into the energies of her day, whoever she is. No identity required. No faith box to check. Take what resonates and leave the rest. The message lives in you, not in me.

Why does it cost $19.99?

It's the sweet spot. Premium 6x9 trim, 80# white paper, clean interior layout — printed at quality you'll want to live with on your nightstand, priced where a real woman in the messy middle can actually say yes. Royalties keep the lights on and fund what comes next: the journal, the companion guide, the course. Fair to you, sustainable for the work. See my note above.

Can I get it on Amazon yet?

Not yet. Lulu is finalizing the print files, then paperbacks open for direct orders mid-June 2026. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Ingram distribution follow within a few weeks of launch. Get on the list above and you'll know the moment each opens.
