Do you want to become a Resiliency Ninja? If you're going through tough times and feel like your life sucks, then you need to read this book!
After surviving and flourishing during her decade of hell, Allison Graham has become a master at bouncing back in the face of stress, obstacles and adversity. In her third book, she pulls back the curtain on her private struggles with chronic pain, grief, surgeries and injuries, as well as the mental, emotional and financial turmoil that compounded life's challenges.
This book is meant to open an authentic conversation about the invisible game of life-sized Whack-A-Mole we all play, swatting down one problem just in time for another to erupt.
Allison illustrates her insights by sharing the best and worst stories along her journey. She speaks aloud the words from the harshest critic of all, the Internal Messenger of B.S., to encourage you to release guilt, judgment and comparisons that cause self-sabotage and keep you stuck.
Allison's candid account about her biggest mistakes and how she persevered will make you feel less alone in your struggles. You'll acquire coping skills, build confidence and find blessings amidst the harshest circumstances to create a joyful, fulfilled life no matter what the proverbial fan blows your way.
Among Allison's greatest resources during it all was the unconditional love and support from her mom, who moved to the city to help her when doctors recommended she consider going on disability, and the loyal companionship of her dog Winston C.
So, grab a drink, a comfy spot to read and get ready to power through your troubles and emerge as a Resiliency Ninja!
