Description

Lisa had big plans for her life. Why then, did ‘Little Miss Perfect’ settle for mediocrity? What had robbed her of her dreams? Why was she in an unfulfilling job? Why was she in a toxic relationship with a controlling man she knew she didn’t want to end up with? After a shocking wake-up call she finally took action and discovered she had been existing instead of living for too long. Plunging on an inward journey, she explores her childhood conditioning, intergenerational trauma and limiting beliefs which reveal how much time she squandered putting up, giving up and shutting up. Where Have I Been All My Life? explores ways in which ‘good girls’ make valuable mistakes on the path to true adulthood, but when we release fear and pain, we become empowered to claim freedom and authenticity. In this story of one woman reaching for a life beyond the silencing gates of shame, Lisa becomes unstuck and squeezes more joy and excitement into the last ten years than in her preceding thirty-seven.
