Each chapter is shaped by others’ experiences, with similar battles and victories that will inspire you in your very own journey.

Why you should empower your bodily autonomy from the little things to big medical decisions
Effective techniques for recovery and growing your confidence armor
How financial independency is the foundation for feeling powerful
