“This book has three drafts. The first, began as a story about my challenges. I felt no connection to it. I started over by creating a guide with the research and tools I had assessed. There was no passion and it felt clinical. It wasn't until I stepped outside of myself and created the character ‘Elara’, to tell a story. It was there, I felt an authentic connection within the message I wanted others to receive. It was real. This book is a guide. Not a replacement. It's written to show you how to let go self victimizing habits. Until you're ready to do in the inner work through deep introspection? Your life may continue to repeat the same outcomes you want to avoid. Detachment, is an intentional skill”. Rae Ashe
