Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up thinking I was unworthy of love and happiness. I grew up thinking I was small and insignificant, and that I would never be anything else but the girl who came from a dysfunctional family. #2 The power of the past is a strange one. Despite my father’s death, I carried my first twelve years with me, and allowed the burdens of those times to weigh me down and keep me feeling trapped, stuck, and unhappy. #3 The moment you decide you have had enough of everything, including stress, anxiety, anger, resentment, struggle, lack, pain, and poverty, you will be ready to take charge of your life and make necessary changes. #4 You were a victim when your father was alive. But once he was gone, the gate to your prison cell was opened. You were free to escape and live a happy life, but your attachment to all those past hurts kept you inside the cell.
