Didn’t know how much I would personally grow from listening to this book! Stephanie’s vulnerability really makes this more than a story and more like a podcast by including all she has learned through her journey! I related a lot to the portions that pertain to generational trauma and having ancestors who had to really fight to be where they ended up and learning that those are inherited made a lot of sense. An incredible difference between the description of her childhood and the last sessions with her therapist! I enjoyed hearing those ‘live’ and how they worked through her trauma. The book never slowed down and was never boring to me. I liked how the flow worked and was happy that it ended on a positive note of hope!
