Rock Bottom
In 2007, she hit rock bottom and was forced to walk away from the relationship – writing became a tool she used to overcome and ultimately heal from the pain.
She has learned how it feels to be loved and unloved. She vividly recalls being in a place where she did not have enough energy to get out of bed and withdrawling from loved ones and life.
Since her meltdown she has become obsessed with writing. Although she not in the space she was in many years ago, she has discovered the power of journaling and learned that writing allows you to gather thoughts so you can keep a record of the good ones and dump the excess baggage.
The most important thing she wants you to know is that you are not alone – there are millions of women just like you, struggling with who they are because someone let them down. They have been told they are not enough at some point in their life, or they have been abandoned and they are carrying that baggage with them. Now is the time to dump it. Now is the time to clear out the clutter and step into greatness.
