Who's Pulling My Strings?: How I Learned to Free the Puppet and Feel Safe to Be Me

Mardi Kirkland told herself she was a macho woman who could accomplish anything, when she resigned from a corporate management career to start her own business. Suddenly instead, she was confronted with a far stronger belief about herself that threatened to sabotage her every move. While this awareness was shocking, she realized it had been running the show most of her life. 
 
While wanting to be an authentic person, she, instead, was consumed with thinking and saying what she thought others wanted to hear. She had no clue what being authentic looked like. 

Willing to do "whatever it takes," Mardi embarked on a personal journey to discover what had gotten her to this place, to heal her wounds, and create a new life based on self-love, acceptance, and joy.
