That’s Just How Men Are

And Other BS We Were Taught to Believe

We were told to stay. To be loyal. To endure.
But what if everything we were taught about love, sacrifice, and “standing by your man” was a lie that’s been breaking us for generations?

In That’s Just How Men Are, Certified Peer & Recovery Support Specialist L. Nicole Handfield delivers a raw, unflinching healing guide for Black women who are done excusing betrayal and calling it love.

Through powerful truths, real-life stories, and practical tools, this book will help you:

• Break free from the toxic narratives that keep you stuck.

• Heal the deep wounds of infidelity and emotional neglect.

• Rebuild your self-worth and rewrite your definition of love.

• Model strength, peace, and wholeness for yourself—and your children.

You don’t have to settle. You don’t have to suffer. And you definitely don’t have to keep believing the lies.
It’s time to unlearn the BS, reclaim your power, and step into the kind of love that starts with you.
