Especially if you’ve walked through trauma, addiction and abusive relationships like she has throughout her life. The answers she found, and the answers she’s teaching her students, are all here, together with her story. The how of inner healing. Cultivating self-awareness. Sitting with emotional wounds. Kicking the inner critic. Falling in love with yourself. Finally, truly living, perhaps for the first time in your life. And, through it all, there’s humor, and vulnerability, and love. It’s possible. You’re possible. Choose to do the work so you can become the best version of you.
