My Journey So Far

Hi, I’m Areatae McGhee a proud mom, creative entrepreneur, author, and Certified Family Life Educator.

My journey began with a deep desire to help families thrive. After earning my degree in Child and Family Studies from Portland State University, I spent over 15 years working in human and social services, supporting individuals through challenges in education, family life, and mental health. I went on to earn my Master’s in Psychology with a focus in Life Coaching, and I’ve been walking beside others ever since helping them grow through every season of life.

I’ve written and self-published four books that speak to healing, growth, and real life reflection, including:

  • Compositions Within My Mirror (2015)
  • Torn Back Together (2017)
  • Silent Echoes (2019)
  • Dating Me: The Wise, The Mature, and The Satisfied (2022

In 2022, launched Inspire 2BU Design Studio, followed by A. McGhee Publishing Co. on Etsy in 2024. Through these platforms, I’ve created planners, journals, affirmation cards, eBooks, and more to support creators, parents, writers, and entrepreneurs in living a life of purpose.

I also run Pen to Publishing on YouTube, a channel where I teach aspiring authors and content creators how to turn their ideas into published works—step by step. If you’re here to build something meaningful whether that’s a book, a brand, or a better version of yourself you're in the right place.
