WHEN Stories Volume 2

When everything changed, we faced a choice: stay broken or rise.

In WHEN Stories: When Everything Changed, I Chose Me, 12 courageous women share the pivotal moments that shattered the life they knew-and the fierce, beautiful journey of rebuilding their worth, reclaiming their voice, and choosing self-love.

From devastating loss, betrayal, and trauma to healing, forgiveness, and radical self-acceptance, each story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. These are not stories of perfect transformation. They are raw, real, and sometimes messy stories of finding light through the ashes.

Through heartbreak, each woman discovered something extraordinary:

They didn't have to wait to be chosen.

They could choose themselves.

WHEN Stories is more than an anthology-it's a call to anyone who has ever felt unwanted, unseen, or unworthy. It's a reminder that your story matters, your healing is possible, and your comeback can be the most beautiful chapter of all.

Inside, you'll meet women who...

• Faced life-altering grief-and still stood up.
• Rewrote their definition of love and worth.
• Took their pain and built purpose.
• Found freedom in forgiving others-and themselves.
• Chose to rise, not because it was easy, but because it was necessary.

If you've ever felt broken, this book will remind you: you are not alone.

You are not too much.

You are worthy.

You are loved.
