Well… at least the part that almost broke me and then rebuilt me into someone I barely recognize in the best way.

To the world, I was strong. A strong daughter, friend, business owner, CEO. A strong woman.

Meanwhile… behind the scenes?

I was crying in bathrooms, negotiating with my own self-worth, and tolerating things I would now laugh at with my girlfriends over an extra dirty, filthy - I don’t want to see through martini.

This is the story of what no one saw.

The grief of losing my mother, my only family.

The fight for my life through triple negative breast cancer.

And yes… the relationship that looked fine on the outside but was quietly destroying me on the inside.

This is where it gets uncomfortable.

Because I’m not sharing the polished version.

I’m sharing the decisions I wish I could redo.

The moments I stayed when I should have left.

The times I disrespected myself and called it love.

The kind of honesty most people avoid because it’s easier to pretend it never happened.

But I’m not pretending anymore.

Because those “embarrassing” moments?

They built me.

They turned me into a woman who now wakes up every morning and says out loud;

“I love my life.” And I mean it.

This book is raw,  intimate and it WILL make you uncomfortable.

Good.

Because if you see yourself in these pages, and it gives you the courage to leave sooner than I did, one day, one week, one month, one year sooner…

Then every uncomfortable truth I’ve shared will be worth it.

Consider this my story.

And maybe… your exit plan.
