Awaken
Written for every soul that’s ever felt lost, unseen, or too broken to begin again.
When your world falls apart, where does hope hide?
What if the breaking was never meant to destroy you — but to awaken you?
In Awaken: Finding Hope Beyond Brokenness, poet and life coach, Ítala Veloso, shares a testimony in verse — written for every soul that’s ever felt lost, unseen, or too broken to begin again.
These poems are not polished prayers — they are raw honesty, battle cries, tear-stained revelations and encounters with grace. Ítala walks with you from the depths of despair to the freedom of faith.
Her words are prayers in motion, carrying the ache of human pain and the healing of God’s love. A journey through pain, surrender, and the miraculous forgiveness, rebirth that only love in Christ can bring.
Awaken is a call to the lost, the broken, the weary, the doubting: to remember who you are, whose you are, and that no valley is too deep for resurrection.
Come as you are. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. You are already being made new.
Awaken.
Maybe it is today...
the day you stop asking how much more you can take...
Weaving motivational and prophetic poetry, prayer, and Spirit-filled reflection with bold tenderness, Ítala Veloso guides the wounded, the weary, and the waiting into wholeness...
and freedom in how God made them.
Her first book, Awaken: Finding Hope Beyond Brokenness, is a poetic journey from brokenness to breakthrough and from self-reliance to dependence on Christ Jesus.
Ítala writes with deep conviction that true change begins in the heart. Rooted in lived seasons of pain, surrender, and renewal, her life's journey from São Tomé and Príncipe, to Portugal, and now England, is the foundation of her ministry.
After a life-changing encounter with Jesus her message became—healing is possible, hope is real, and Jesus is Lord. And now she compassionately equips others to move from emotional survival to spiritual revival through honesty, empathy, and truth.
Beyond writing and coaching, Ítala shares encouraging content across social and podcast platforms, serves her community and Elim Coventry, and delights in prayer walks, nature, sunshine, dancing, and heartfelt conversations.

"A transformative encounter with Jesus convinced me that true transformation begins in the heart where healing, hope, and faith meet."
Listen,
to the whispers at night.
Waiting for the day of bright light.
Where anguish is taken to peace,
where desperation will cease.
When embracing the call:
Come to me.
