No, I'm Not Fine. Thank You.

My Relentless Journey To Healing Complex Trauma

A raw, honest memoir about anxiety, burnout, and the journey to healing.

“No, I’m Not Fine. Thank You.” is the powerful true story of a nurse whose life was forever changed by trauma—and how she found her way back to herself.

After a traumatic brain injury brought her fast-paced, high-stress career to a crashing halt, Laura was forced to confront the emotional toll she had been carrying for years. Behind her perfectly put-together life was a woman battling anxiety, people-pleasing, and the weight of never feeling "enough."

This memoir is for anyone who has ever said “I’m fine” when they weren’t.

With unfiltered vulnerability and moments of dry humor, Laura shares her journey through nervous system dysregulation, emotional burnout, and trauma healing. Through therapy, nervous system work, mindset shifts, and radical self-compassion, she found a new way of living—one that prioritized rest, boundaries, and emotional wellness.

If you're looking for a mental health recovery story, a survivor’s journey of trauma healing, or inspiration for your own emotional wellness path, this book will meet you where you are—and remind you that you're not alone.

• Personal stories about healing from trauma

• Honest reflections on anxiety, burnout, and trying to hold it all together

• Learning how to regulate your nervous system (without making it weird)
