ABOUT THE BOOK
In my book “A Woman’s Word”, you will get a first-hand account of 9 brave women courageously rebuilding their lives with me, in every sense, after walking through some of the hardest things that we endure. You will fall in love with, identify with, and root for these real women while perhaps having some ‘ah-ha’ moments of your own along the way.
Follow Rosa’s heart-wrenching journey through teen addiction and homelessness, Sophia’s relatable struggle with perfectionism and anxiety as an executive in corporate while battling secret shame, or feel for Brenda as she fumbles through motherhood as best she can, while battling depression from unprocessed grief.
I wrote this book because I wanted to put together a collection of stories that accurately depicts who WE are, to create a new and relatable point of reference of what it is to be a woman – outside of glossy, well-curated social media content.
Darkness is a part of everyone’s journey that needs a light shined through it to heal.
The identities of the brave women you will come to love in this compilation are disguised, and some details changed to protect their anonymity further. This book is, however, very much non-fiction, with the subjects generously offering their stories in the hope of helping others feel less alone.
I lovingly offer this book as a roadmap for anyone on a healing journey back to self-love.
Stand with me, sister; we are long overdue.
Our ancestors are jumping and cheering our coup,
As one by one, we heal and remember,
Straighten our crowns, wide awake from our slumber.
There are others to heal and important work to do.
First things first, though: you must choose you.
– Joanna Peters, A Woman’s Word
SOPHIA
At a women’s seminar, I remember Sophia watching me intensely with her large brown eyes. Holding my business card up on her way out, she said, “I think we need to talk.” She was well put together, had warm energy, and wore her “I’m fine” mask with elegance.
On our first call, she stated she wanted peace. She described chasing her tail, trying to complete all the things on a never-ending to-do list between her executive career, husband, children, and home. She always felt like she was failing somewhere and was exhausted. She took notes as we talked. She wanted a new plan, directions, a way to do it all with balance. She was taking notes as I passed along my observation that she was running her life from her head, and we needed to get her back into her body. She was so disconnected from herself. She stopped writing, stumped on how to turn that into an action item.
She had created a world for herself where she was in charge of organizing, planning, and executing all the tiny details of her family’s life while also working full-time. She had no concept that she had any bandwidth or limitations, just resolved to work harder tomorrow to get it all done. Her mind was always adding things to her list and reviewing what she had left to do. At any moment, Sophia seemed fearful that she would drop one of the balls she was juggling …
The opening chapter of Sophia’s relatable struggle with perfectionism and anxiety as an executive in corporate while battling secret shame.
