Cassidy Gard, an Emmy-winning producer, is gearing up to share her personal and professional journey in her upcoming debut memoir titled “Cosmic Goodness: Surrendering the Shadows to Live in the Light.” The highly-anticipated book is scheduled to hit shelves in the spring of 2026 through Post Hill Press. Offering readers a unique insight into her life, Gard’s memoir delves into her career progression in the news industry and a profound inner transformation that paved the way for a fresh start.
The cover of Gard’s memoir, elegantly designed by Elisha Zepeda, has been exclusively revealed to PEOPLE. The unveiling of the cover marks a significant milestone in Gard’s writing journey as she opens up about her path to self-discovery and healing. From being deeply inspired by a movie character in her childhood to embarking on a solo road trip towards a new beginning, Gard’s narrative is one of resilience, growth and empowerment.
Reflecting back on her formative years, Gard recalls being drawn to journalism after watching the character Andie Anderson in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” This early inspiration led Gard to make a life-changing move from Florida to New York City at the age of 17. Her career trajectory included diverse roles in the entertainment industry, initially as Blake Lively’s stand-in on “Gossip Girl,” and later transitioning into producing for “Good Morning America” and creating content on YouTube.
Despite her professional achievements, Gard carried with her the weight of past trauma stemming from her tumultuous upbringing as the daughter of an alcoholic parent. The global health crisis further catalysed an “inner revolution” within Gard, propelling her towards embracing a new chapter in her life. Her memoir encapsulates pivotal moments such as her relocation to Montana, acquiring a cabin named “Cosmic Goodness,” forming meaningful connections, and embracing motherhood.
Highlighting the depth and significance of Gard’s storytelling, “Cosmic Goodness” also features a foreword by acclaimed actress and author Mariel Hemingway. The memoir has already garnered praise from notable personalities including Marianne Williamson and Mel Robbins, with Robbins commending the work for its ability to inspire readers to embrace authenticity and trust in their inner guidance.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Gard shared insights into her writing process, which spanned over eight years amidst the demands of her professional obligations. She revealed, “Writing ‘Cosmic Goodness’ was a cathartic experience for me, providing a space for unfiltered expression in a world that often requires a composed façade. After years of sharing others’ stories, this memoir is my opportunity to share my own truth with the world.”
Throughout her memoir, Gard emphasises a central theme of embracing the concept that cosmic goodness unfolds when individuals align with their inner compass. Through candid reflections on her struggles with anxiety and depression, Gard extends an invitation to readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and finding light in the darkest of moments.
“Cosmic Goodness: Surrendering the Shadows to Live in the Light” is slated for release on May 12, 2026, with pre-orders now available at major book retailers. Gard’s poignant narrative serves as a testament to the power of vulnerability, intuition, and personal growth. As readers await the official release, Gard’s memoir stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration for those navigating their own paths of transformation and self-realisation.
