This is a story of coming home to yourself. To Call Myself Beloved: A Story of Hope, Healing, and Coming Home offers the permission youâve been looking for to simply be yourself and accept that with courage, pride, and grace. It really is that simple, even if it is that complicated. Too many of us are tethered to the expectations of other people, living with the feeling that we need to look outside ourselves to feel whole and loved, that we need to keep âthe maskâ on and hide who we really are; we read book after book, see therapist after therapist, take course after course, all with the intent to âfix whatâs broken,â sending us on a quest to continuously solve a problem that isnât real with a solution that doesnât exist. And it leaves us dissatisfied, constantly wanting more. The secret is, weâre not broken, we are healing. We are learning to sort through the messages of what weâve been told are true versus what we believe to be true, and we are figuring out how it aligns with what we want out of our life.
Equal parts self-help, memoir, and cozied up on the couch talking to a trusted friend, To Call Myself Beloved is informed by lessons learned through navigating the most cataclysmic events of one womanâs life, and realizing throughout each one that âI am still okay.â Let this book guide you through the process of adultingâfinding clarity in what you want, confidence in who you are, and the courage to stay true to both, even if that means making big changes in mindset and behaviorâsimply through the rebellious act of being yourself. This is the chaos of becoming. Can you love yourself enough to come home to yourself, and learn to call yourself beloved? Yes, you f*cking can.
