I Am
One month before our destination wedding, I found out my fiancé was cheating on me with his boss’s daughter. Despite our relationship being in shambles, he ended his affair and we proceeded with the wedding. I spent the next three years fighting the not-so-good fight to save my marriage, which ultimately ended in March of 2021.That ending was my greatest blessing. I’ve learned that on the other side of your fears is something unmatched, something money can’t buy. And no one else can give it to you. It’s embarking on a healing and spiritual journey. It’s finally choosing yourself and healing the deepest parts of your being. It’s becoming the greatest version of yourself you can be.This book started as a journal to help me heal. But then I realized that everyone is fighting their own battles and doing their best, and that sharing my story could help someone else feel less alone on their journey or inspire them to embark on their own healing journey. Connection is a beautiful privilege, and if I can help someone else make the greatest comeback of all time, that’s all I can hope for.At thirty-two years old, I never imagined my life would look the way it does, but there’s something beautiful about being on a journey you never thought you’d be on.

Such an easy read on how someone can take a truly awful situation and turn it into a beautiful healing journey that not only helps themselves but others! This is not your average self help book that can at times feel daunting to read as well when on the self care path. This feels much easier like a beach read paired with therapy with your most healed best friend! Couldn’t recommend more! Incredibly inspiring and amazing!

This book healed a part of me that I didn’t know was broken and I think it will be the same for everyone who reads it. This book starts with navigating heartbreak and failure and moves into healing and becoming the best version of yourself. You get to see what can go on behind closed doors of a seemingly picture perfect relationship. The author walks the reader through the rollercoaster that was her life, cheating, masking, people pleasing etc. and how she hit rock bottom and there was no where but up. I *know* this book will be relatable to everyone who reads it in one way or another. The interactive journaling at the end was such an awesome surprise. 10/10 must read especially for anyone in toxic relationships - I know it’ll change their life.
