As a single, career—oriented woman in China, I was deeply engrossed in the book Beyond Dependence. It felt as if Anna Thellmann had articulated my unspoken thoughts and experiences. Her words are a source of strength and inspiration.”

“This book is a transformative read and gave me so much! It serves as a true gift to feel the awakened power residing within all of us.

What a powerful book! I instantly connected with Anna's stories of breaking free from societal expectations and having the strength to leave a relationship that was no longer serving her. Anna Thellmann’s story about listing the values you want in a partner completely resonated with me… As she said, freedom is possible for anyone willing to let go of who they're supposed to be and step into who they are. I couldn't agree more.” —Agatha Brewer
Erin’s writing is full of honest and raw descriptions of the physical reactions to emotions, allowing the reader to empathise, connect, and reflect. Her voice comes through so clearly, it is an easy read, as though having coffee with a friend, catching up on their life, and on the trip home, you end up considering your own personal development. —Melanie Scott
