A couple of months ago, I was sitting at a sports lounge with some friends, just eating wings, when a friend of mine—someone I've known for over 20 years—sat down next to me. We’ve known each other for decades, but we never really had deep conversations. That night, though, something changed. She opened up in a way she hadn’t before and told me about the struggles she’d been going through.
For 20 years, she had been married and always put herself last. She made sure her husband and family were good, sacrificing her peace and happiness to keep everything looking perfect on the outside. She didn’t want to feel like she was abandoning him or breaking up the family. But one day, she woke up and something clicked. It was time to put herself first.
She said to me, “I needed to show my daughter that it’s okay to walk away from something that’s breaking you.”
After years of carrying that weight, she knew it was time to leave. She was exhausted—tired of giving more than she was getting, tired of losing herself to keep others comfortable. She finally realized she was worth more than the life she was living.
It wasn’t easy—leaving never is. But staying in a place where you're undervalued? That’s not living.
She told me, “At some point, staying in a toxic situation just gets old. You wake up one day and realize—you’re worth so much more than that.”
When she found out I was an author, she asked if I had any books that might help. I recommended In Her Hour of Need, my guide for women who've lost themselves, to remind them they’re stronger than their circumstances. She ordered it on the spot.
Five weeks later, she called me, saying everyone from her friends to her hairstylist had noticed a change in her. For the first time in years, she was living for herself.
