In a world where we often focus on the destination, this book beautifully emphasizes the importance of the journey itself. Norstrom's exploration of toxic relationships, whether with people, emotions, or circumstances, is a raw and emotional rollercoaster.
What I Loved: Norstrom's courage to share her deeply personal struggles is awe-inspiring. The metaphor of "shoeprints" - it's a brilliant way to make us reflect on the imprints left by our life experiences. The universal message that challenges, no matter how painful, can shape us into stronger individuals.
This book isn't a guide on dealing with toxic relationships; it's an invitation to self-discovery. It encourages us to examine the footprints we leave on our own life's journey.
