The loneliness of starting something new, and the emotional toll of being misunderstood. This is my story. It's a story about discovery of self-worth, self-awareness, resilience, choosing growth over approval, and peace over people-pleasing. I was born in Croatia. I moved to an unknown country I had never been to before, at the age of 25. While being raised in Croatia, having a good comfortable life living with parents, finished school, high school and college. However, I felt very unworthy. Even though I was living a comfortable lifestyle, I still felt me and other people around me, feel not worthy enough. We LET other people the way they treat us, usually we see how other people treat each other. I´ve come to realize how other people treat other people is about THEM. But while we LET other people treat us badly, that is the biggest point. However, when I started from scratch, taking the responsibility in life, working at jobs, never losing courage, patience, never losing self belief, never losing self confidence, unstoppable action taker. When I moved to the unknown country in Scandinavia, I felt more appreciated and valued, rather than living in Croatia. No matter what, I love both countries. No matter how I felt through my personal journey, this is about no one in the world should make you feel less worthy. Reclaiming worth means Overcoming pains. Outgrowing pain means growth. Unconditionally love and Respect Yourself - This is the essence of feeling good enough Do Things You Are Afraid Of - This will improve your self-confidence Do The Things That Will Make You Feel Enough Be Consistent Challenge Yourself - This is the best exercise to improve your self-esteem Don't Punish Yourself- Reward Your Achievements Learn from mistakes without criticism Never think you´re less valuable than others - You are unique human So let me ask you questions: What makes you Feel not good enough? Be aware what is causing of the things that make you feel so? Don't let anyone put you down - Control Yourself instead. Don't give the importance of other people's opinions, their opinions do not pay your bills ❤️

For a long time, I thought some experiences in my life were simply things I had to carry quietly. When I started writing , I realized something unexpected: Writing wasn't only about creating "a book". It helped me understand parts of myself I hadn't fully understood before. It helped me solve the problem about stop letting other people´s expectations to define your life. Maybe that's one of the reasons stories matter so much. We don't always write because we already understand the meaning. Sometimes we write because we're trying to understand it. I'm friendly curious: Is there something from your own life that you haven't fully understood until you started putting it into words?

So, behind the scenes my team and I have been working on my website and it's ALMOST complete! 😁 This will be for my business, The Storyteller's Path! But there's still something missing... I want to promote some of YOUR books on my website! Since you've been here in my community and I want to give you support, I thought this would be a great way to get more eyes on your books! If you're interested, I'd love for you to fill out this form. Then, I'll look it over and if it fits with the website, I'll add it! I can't wait to share my website once I have it live and out into the world! 🗺️ I know that you have published books! 📚 @Dr. Melissa Partaka @Shawn Helgerson @Elizabeth O'Carroll @Karen Sarmento I know there's a few more of you!!🔥

Hi everyone, I have been a writer all my life, dating back to grade 1 where I won a merit badge for 'There's a Lion Under my Bed' (My parents lost it and I would have loved to be able to read this over the years!) I am in Oakville, Ontario Canada where I live with my husband Joe, my two sons, Luca (25) and Aidan (20) and our beautiful dog Maverick. In addition, we recently sold our home and moved into my in-laws to assist them in their aging process, so safe to say, there is never a dull moment! All my writing has been for work, personal or clients and I am now stepping into my power to publish my first book- an idea that has been in my mind for over 20 years. The book is called 'The Waiting Room' and it is about a woman's complicated and estranged relationship with her bi-polar mother and a journey of love, growth, transformation, healing and all the ups and downs that come with it. The title is exactly where the entire book takes place- in a hospital waiting room as she works through the estrangement and choice of how to experience her mother's end of life. Looking forward to finally getting this out there in hopes that it resonates with those who have had complicated parental relationships and provides insight on how to not lose yourself in the midst of navigating what is not in your control. Here I go!
