About the event
Join us for a heartfelt celebration of Tanya Derigo’s debut memoir, Before Love Stayed: A Journey Through Depression, Anxiety, and Love. This intimate gathering invites you to explore the spaces between love, loss, and self-discovery.
Through stories of meaningful relationships, Tanya shares how depression, anxiety, and childhood wounds quietly shaped the way love was chosen, held, and released. Guests will hear reflections on courage, inner work, and the journey toward understanding that love doesn’t fail, it waits for us to be ready.
