The Making of a Woman: From the inside out

Description

A rough beginning doesn’t have to dictate the direction a life takes. Sometimes you just have to bravely find your true self.

Once I discovered my true self—the dominant seat of my soul—there would be no turning back for me. Gone were the days of stepping out of my body, going into my head, and floating above and away to escape childhood abuse. I knew what abuse did to a person. I was familiar with those feelings of not being accepted, having to hide things about myself, and feeling small in order to survive. Yet my experience at the hands of others didn’t cause me to harm: instead, it gifted me with empathy.
