Mry Contreras is the author of Still Glowing: My Journey to Unconditional Self-Love, Through the Darkness, and Good Dogs. Her work explores resilience, self-examination, and the long arc of rebuilding a life with intention.
Her writing is deeply informed by family history and generational experience — the relationships, losses, patterns, and inheritances that shape a person over time. She is divorced, the mother of two grown children, and a grandmother of five. These roles, and the passage of life through them, strongly influence her attention to memory, endurance, and change.
Alongside her writing life, Mry has spent decades in demanding, real-world work. She spent many years in the automotive industry and, since 2017, has run her own pet care business in Los Angeles. These experiences appear in her work as lived texture rather than profession or identity.
She lives and works in Los Angeles and shares her work through her books, videos, and writing projects.
