Why I Wrote This Book
Polished Pain was born from my journey that appearing fine didn't mean I was free. I've seen too many people hiding their hurt behind polished smiles, feeling trapped, and wondering why true peace felt out of reach.Â
This book is a call to courageously confront and release the weight of unresolved trauma so we can move forward, authentically whole. It’s time to heal what’s been hidden.
Key Quote from the Book
"Don’t polish pain—process it. You can’t heal what you hide."
If you’ve been smiling through the hurt, you’re not alone. This book gives you permission to feel, process, and finally release what’s been buried—so you can heal for real.
