Have you ever found yourself constantly explaining to someone how to love you properly? Sending paragraph-long texts just to ask for the bare minimum? Rehearsing conversations where you'll finally, finally make them understand your needs?

Honey, I've been there. And I wrote this book because I know how soul-crushing it is to pour your heart into someone who makes you feel like you're too much?for simply wanting to be loved right.

In The Dignity of Desire: Recognizing Your Worth, I'm sitting down with you like the friend who's lived it, healed it, and came back with receipts. This isn't clinical advice from a distant expert. It's real talk from someone who's learned the hard way why we accept crumbs when we deserve the whole damn bakery.

Through raw, intimate chapters that feel like late-night phone calls with your wisest bestie, you'll uncover:

• Why breaking the cycle of begging for love feels so hard?and the quiet power it takes to say "enough"

• How childhood wounds and past dynamics quietly shaped your tolerance for mistreatment

• The subtle signs you're in a relationship where love is conditional, based on your performance

• Why trauma bonds keep you addicted to the wrong people?and why logic alone can't save you

• Soul-nourishing tools and reflective prompts to help you remember: You were always enough

Each chapter ends with piercing questions and gentle practices designed to reconnect you with your self-worth, your intuition, and your deepest truths.

This book is for every woman who's ever dimmed her light to make someone else comfortable. Who's ever apologized for having needs. Who's ever asked herself: Is it too much to want to be loved without having to teach someone how to love me?

It's not. You're not.
The problem was never your desire for love.
It was the relationships that made you feel like you had to earn it.

Your journey back to yourself begins here. And it starts by remembering this: You never should've had to prove your worth in the first place.
