My name is Nova James... writer, advocate, and seeker of what's right.
Bearing a Burden is more than a platform. It’s my personal ministry.
Through books, podcasts, and real-world advocacy, I explore the burdens we all carry, from broken systems to silent battles. Some are societal. Some are deeply personal. All of them matter.
We all carry weight. Some of it we show to the world. Some we hold in silence. At the end of the day, we're all just walking each other home.
If you’re searching for balance in a world of extremes, so am I.
A collection of beautifully human short stories.
What if the moments that almost broke you… were the ones that built you?
If I Walked Away isn’t about giving up. It’s about buckling down. It’s about the hard conversations, the near-walkaways, and the quiet, ordinary choices that shape extraordinary resilience. Through raw, relatable stories of medical battles, marriage struggles, financial hardship, and emotional reckoning, Nova James invites readers into the unfiltered reality of growth, the kind most people keep hidden.
Each story leaves behind a lesson. A reminder. A reason to keep going.
If you’ve ever wondered how to hold steady when life unravels, this book is for you.
In a world drowning in division and emotional extremes, Bearing a Burden is a return to reason, resilience, and real conversation.
This isn’t about taking sides, it's about rising above reactionary thinking, embracing personal responsibility, and forging balance in chaotic times.
Each episode challenges ideas, seeks wisdom, and builds the strength needed to carry life’s burdens with courage, not resentment.
If you're ready to move beyond the noise and reclaim your voice, you're in the right place.
This is not medical, mental health, or therapeutic advice, and it should not be taken as such.
Sometimes carrying a burden isn’t about putting it down—it’s about learning how to carry it with more strength, clarity, and grace.
I’m currently creating a series of courses designed to help you navigate life’s challenges with practical tools and honest conversations. From medical advocacy to finding balance in a world of extremes, these resources will offer guidance rooted in real-world experience, not perfection.
Stay tuned. These courses are built to lighten the load, one lesson at a time.
