Wake Up To Your Life:
Moving from Surviving to Overcoming 

 

 

A Personal Note 

 

There was a time in my life when I couldn't imagine becoming the person I am today. 

​

I understand what it feels like to believe your past has already decided your future. It hasn't. 

​

I wrote Wake Up To Your Life because I want survivors to know there is life beyond survival. My hope is that through the pages in the book you will discover that your past may explain you, but it does not have to define you. Healing is possible. You have the ability to become more than the combination of what happened to you and the mistakes you've made along the way. 

​

Who This Book Is For?   

 

Have you ever found yourself wondering...   

• Why do I understand my past but still feel emotionally stuck? 

• What is causing me to keep repeating the same unhealthy patterns? 

• Can I really become someone different than the life I came from? 

If so, you're not alone. 

​

What You'll Gain    

 

Through personal stories, professional experience, evidence-based research, and practical reflection, you'll learn how to: 

• Understand why survival patterns develop. 

• Replace shame with self-compassion. 

• Build resilience and develop grit. 

• Heal your inner child. 

• Move from surviving to overcoming 

 

Before You Begin:     

 

Before you open the first chapter, ask yourself:  

•  What do I hope will be different in my life a year from now? 

• What survival pattern, that is no longer helpful, am I most ready to leave behind? 

• If I truly believed my future could be different from my past, what would I begin doing today? 

 

If you finish my book feeling less lost and with a clearer direction for where to go next, then I will feel like I accomplished what I set out to do when I began writing it.
