The Only One in the Room: How I learned to be kinder to myself to be better for others

This book started as a story of my life and evolved into a collection of lessons I have learned through happiness, heartache, triumph, and near defeat. My intention is for you to walk away from this book seeing how I have learned to treat myself better and what my life and experiences have taught me, in the hope that someone, even if it is one person, relates to this and realizes that they are not alone. You can use this book however you like; whether you want to read it all in one go and go back and reference or maybe you want to take it a passage at a time–whatever works for you, works for me. This book is for those who want to look inward to improve themselves and to be better for those who experience life with and around us. Not every passage will resonate with you, and every lesson or learning may not be relevant to you. I hope even if it is only one passage, one sentence, or one quote, it changes you for the better. I hope that when you put this book down, you are in one way or another, a better person because of it.
