Unraveled

A Journey from Breakdown to Breakthrough

By: Vanessa France

Narrated by: Vanessa France

For anyone who has ever clung too tightly — or feared letting go — this is a story of hope, healing, and finding home.

Vanessa France had built a life that looked whole — wife, mother of four, hospice liaison — but inside, she was unraveling. Years of anxiety, bulimia, and addiction caught up, and when alcohol stopped working, she was left with the raw truth: something had to change.

What she found was not another way to escape, but a way to return. On the yoga mat, in stillness and breath, Vanessa discovered the courage to face her pain, loosen her grip, and step into sobriety. Faith deepened. Motherhood softened. Healing began to weave her back together.

Unraveled is a memoir of breaking down and beginning again — of how sobriety, yoga, and grace carried one woman home to herself. Honest, hopeful, and deeply relatable, it is a reminder that unraveling isn't the end. It's the beginning.
