No one ever said recovering from codependency and people pleasing is supposed to be fun, so when Taneshia Johnson started her healing journey, she expected a few bumps in the road. However, she wasn’t prepared for what was really in store—a roller-coaster of volatile emotions, fractured relationships, and heart-wrenching grief. One moment she feels empowered while taking charge of her life; and the next, she’s doubting every move, wishing she could fast forward to a magical time in the future when the complicated process of healing is a thing of the distant past. Dizzy from the constant emotional twists and turns, Taneshia finally realizes something no self-help book or guru could ever explain—that healing is not a linear process. In fact, it’s more like a complex jigsaw puzzle, with scattered pieces, some even hidden or lost.
In this powerful memoir, Taneshia takes readers along on her courageous journey of healing and self-discovery with unapologetic honesty. As she navigates the peaks and valleys of healthy communication, setting boundaries, and embracing the power of “no”, her story becomes a mirror for readers, inviting them to start their own transformative journeys.
