How to Heal, Step Into Myself, and Become Fully Me

She's just not sure she knows herself.

She knows God loves her.

I Wish Someone
Had Told Me


 

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF...
You are the one everyone leans on, and you can't remember the last time someone asked how you are really doing.

You know Scripture and you know God loves you, and you still feel like a stranger in your own life.

You have read the mindset books and the devotionals and ended up self-aware and still stuck.

You want something to do this week, along with the understanding of why it works.

What I know now after years of graduate study, clinical work, and my own hard-won healing, is that you are not broken. You are not failing at faith. You were just never told the truth about who you actually are.

Nobody handed you the operating manual for your own inner world. Nobody told you that the thoughts you've been rehearsing are physically rewiring your brain. That the meaning you've made of your hardest seasons has been quietly shaping your identity. That the comparison shrinking you has an explanation and a way out.

Nobody told you that you carry within you the strength of every woman in Scripture. That your emotions are not your enemy. That the woman God designed you to be is not gone — she's just been waiting for someone to finally tell her the truth.

Imagine having a conversation with your best friend, who just happens to have a PhD.

"I know that feeling. I have lived that feeling. I have sat on the floor in the dark knowing God loved me and having no idea why I still felt so lost."

FOR THE WOMAN WHO KEEPS IT
TOGETHER REALLY WELL

You show up. You serve. You love your people, you love God, and you hold the whole thing together with both hands.

And still, in the car alone, in the middle of the night, in the quiet moments nobody else sees... there's this ache you can't quite name. This sense that you've been running hard toward a life that somehow still doesn't feel like yours.


All seven of them are in you. But one of them is doing most of the driving right now and if she's tired, or she got hurt somewhere along the way, she might be driving from her shadow without either of you noticing.

Five minutes. Then go find her in chapters 14-16.

  • Why gratitude changes your nervous system and how to practice it so it sticks

HOW We FEEl

  • Why comparison shrinks you, and what to do the moment it starts
  • How the meaning you made of your hardest seasons became part of your identity, and how to rewrite it

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

- Tatiana

"This is not just another book you read, feel inspired by for a few days, and then let collect dust on your shelf. This is a book you work through. It has the potential to truly transform you through the renewing of your mind. Brittany doesn’t simply tell you that you need to heal, grow, love yourself, or change your patterns, she actually helps you understand how."

- early reader

 I think most, if not all women, can see themselves written in these pages. We’ve all struggled with our identity at one time or another. The author does a great job explaining how our identity can be constructed through faulty mechanisms. I look forward to seeing how I can deconstruct and start building my identity on a strong foundation.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

- Taylor

Most books like this leave you self-aware and still stuck. This one doesn't. Every chapter gives you something to do, not just something to think about. It isn't a devotional and it isn't another mindset book. It's twenty chapters of real psychology, real Scripture and real tools from someone who has actually done the work herself and helped others including me do the same.

I know what it's like to sit on the floor in the dark, loving God and having no idea who I am. I've lived the infertility. The betrayal. The quiet seasons of performing okay when nothing felt okay at all.

I'm also a licensed counselor with a doctorate in counseling, a university professor, a coach, and a speaker who specializes in helping women create rapid, lasting change through the integration of psychology, faith, and practical tools.

I Wish Someone Had Told Me is the book that holds both. The one who has been her. And the one who knows how to help her heal.

I have been 
this woman.
