You Were Never Broken

So, you bought a self-help book. Either you’re wildly optimistic, deeply desperate, or your Amazon algorithm knows things. Whatever the case, welcome. You’re in the right place. This is not a book that’s going to fix you … mostly because you are not broken. You’re just a woman with a gloriously tangled brain, a soft heart, and probably a pile of laundry you’ve been emotionally avoiding since Tuesday. Same.

Here, we’re going to talk about depression, anxiety, and ADHD—the holy trifecta of ‘What the hell is wrong with me?’ Spoiler alert: nothing. Your brain just runs Windows 95 on a MacBook Pro world. You’re not lazy, flaky, or dramatic. You’re overwhelmed, overextended, and still showing up. That’s actually kind of heroic.

This is your invitation to stop fighting your mind like it’s the enemy and start becoming friends with your beautiful, chaotic self. With humor, heart, and the occasional cry-laugh moment, this book is your permission slip to be a hot mess and still be worthy, loved, and healing. Grab some coffee (or wine), and let’s get into it.
