ONE MONTH BEFORE our destination wedding, I found out my fiancé was cheating on me with his boss’s daughter. Despite our relationship being in shambles, he ended his affair and we proceeded with the wedding. I spent the next three years fighting the not-so-good fight to save my marriage, which ultimately ended in March of 2021.

That ending was my greatest blessing. I’ve learned that on the other side of your fears is something unmatched, something money can’t buy. And no one else can give it to you. It’s embarking on a healing and spiritual journey. It’s finally choosing yourself and healing the deepest parts of your being. It’s becoming the greatest version of yourself you can be.

This book started as a journal to help me heal. But then I realized that everyone is fighting their own battles and doing their best, and that sharing my story could help someone else feel less alone on their journey or inspire them to embark on their own healing journey. Connection is a beautiful privilege, and if I can help someone else make the greatest comeback of all time, that’s all I can hope for. 

At thirty-two years old, I never imagined my life would look the way it does, but there’s something beautiful about being on a journey you never thought you’d be on.
