I Was the One I Was Waiting For

From Anxious Attachment and Codependency to Radical Self-Love

De: Heather Wild

Narrado por: Heather Wild

What if the love you were searching for… was always your own?

In this raw and luminous memoir, Heather Wild peels back the layers of codependency, heartbreak, single motherhood, and spiritual awakening to reveal what happens when a woman stops waiting to be chosen—and chooses herself instead.

Told with stunning vulnerability and poetic insight, I Was the One I Was Waiting For chronicles Heather’s real-life journey through a series of complex relationships—including trauma bonds, toxic patterns, and the false promises of romantic potential—ultimately leading to the reclamation of her self-worth, voice, and body.

From first love to failed marriage, soul friendships to seductive illusions, Heather invites listeners into the sacred and messy middle of healing. With themes of anxious attachment, grief, motherhood, embodiment, and personal rebirth, this book isn’t just a story—it’s a mirror. Narrated by the author herself, this audiobook delivers an intimate, heart-led listening experience—infused with warmth, honesty, and soul.

Includes an exclusive bonus: a 30-minute integrative embodiment practice—guided by Heather—to help you ground, reflect, and return to your own story through breath, stillness, and gentle somatic awareness.

For any woman who’s ever felt unseen, unheard, or unchosen… this is your invitation to remember who you are.

You were never too much. You were never too late. You are the one you’ve been waiting for.

A very valuable first person perspective

I melted into the narrator from the very first words. Her tone is empathetic, wise, and trustworthy. You'll appreciate the honesty and candor in how the author flips what many would drag themselves through as just another heartbreak into insightful, self-aware moments. These teach you much about who you really are, so you don't slide down the slippery slope of emotional misery and blame. Highly recommended.

A Healing Journey Toward Self Love

This audiobook touched me deeply. It’s honest, compassionate, and beautifully written for anyone struggling with anxious attachment or codependency. The author guides you gently but clearly toward breaking unhealthy patterns and embracing radical self love. I especially appreciated the practical insights and exercises that made the ideas feel real and doable in everyday life. Listening to this felt like having a wise, supportive friend reminding me that healing and freedom are possible. Truly transformative.

Really shakes u up

This book really is provocative. It makes you stand back and look at the way you operate in the world. It's also filled with suggestions, and anecdotes that help you do better. This will help a lot of people. Great narration too.

Reclaim Your Peace, Power and Potential

This is one of the few audiobooks I have listened to completely in one sitting. First off, the narration (which incidentally is done by the author herself) is brilliant – calm and serene while being expressive and profound.

I could feel the authenticity of this audiobook. The author laid out her life story for all to see. I love the rawness, the vulnerability, the fact that she is talking to real people who, perhaps have similar stories which they would never dream to share. This audiobook is inspiring, empowering and healing; one that will uplift many people who find themselves in, or evolving from codependent relationships.

Beautiful and touching story
