She Was Never Enough: One woman's story of awakening and healing from emotional abuse.

Never fast enough, never smart enough, never pretty enough—just never enough. I was conditioned from a young age to firmly believe that I would never be enough of anything to attain the unconditional love I craved so deeply from my bipolar, narcissistic mother and the safety and protection I craved from my loving but terrified father. I would grow up to be a strong-willed, highly accomplished woman who hated and hid from the world. What good are fancy houses, lots of money, and a great job if you are small, tired, miserable, and slowly dying inside?My life truly started the day I woke up and realized that the emotional abuse of my childhood had distorted the lens through which I see myself and the world around me. In this book I share with you my beautiful, painful, and sometimes humorous journey to healing. Whether it’s boiled peas, sledgehammers, or therapists, I share all my tools for healing and the lessons learned from my first awakening.
