Healing the Ultra-Independent Heart—Now in Audiobook
I’ll be honest: I never planned to record this book.But the more I coach, the more I see that ultra-independence isn’t just a quirk—it’s a survival strategy, a suit of armor, and sometimes, a prison.That’s why I’m beyond proud (and maybe a little nervous) to announce:Healing the Ultra-Independent Heart is now available as a full audiobook.
Why Ultra-Independence? Why Now?
If you know me, you know I don’t do surface-level self-help.Ultra-independence has a story—a story that starts with grit and ends, too often, in exhaustion.It’s what got me through chaos, loss, and the million “I’ll do it myself” moments that made me who I am.But it’s not the whole story.
In the book (and even more in the audio), I get raw about two themes that come up again and again in my coaching sessions:
1. The Hidden Story
Every ultra-independent has a moment they can trace it back to—a parent who only noticed your A’s, a partner who couldn’t handle your ambition, or maybe a family that survived by keeping secrets and swallowing feelings.Ultra-independence is almost always a response—to pressure, to pain, to the deep suspicion that no one’s really coming to save you.
But here’s the twist: That shield you built? It’s also your superpower.And when you understand the roots, you finally get to choose: keep carrying the weight, or set it down when it’s safe.
2. The Balancing Act
Maybe you’ve heard, “You’re too much,” or “You never let anyone help you.”Sound familiar?This book isn’t about surrendering your edge or apologizing for your strength.It’s about choosing connection without giving up who you are.I share stories, evidence-based strategies, and exercises that actually work in the real world—no “manifest your destiny” bullshit here.
Try It for Yourself (Sample Exercises Included!)
If you want to hear more—and start untangling your own independence story—I’m giving away a set of sample reflection exercises with the audiobook.You can listen, pause, write, or just think differently about what’s possible for you.[Attach/link to sample PDF and/or audio sample]
Ready to Rewrite Your Reality?
Ultra-independence isn’t something to fix—it’s something to understand and expand.If you’re tired of doing it all alone (but you’re never, ever giving up your power), this audiobook is for you.
Listen. Reflect. Don’t shrink—build something bigger.
See you on the other side.
