What do you do when the person who taught the world how to heal ghosts you into silence? For nearly thirty years, she lived inside the chaos of a life built on trauma, loyalty, and illusion.

What do you do when the person who taught the world how to heal ghosts you into silence? For nearly thirty years, she lived inside the chaos of a life built on trauma, loyalty, and illusion. She endured a fractured childhood, a decaying marriage, and the slow unraveling of her identity-clinging to the hope that one day, she'd find her fairy tale ending. Then, just as her world collapsed, he appeared. The voice. The dream. The illusion. A man who taught millions to speak their truth-until he disappeared without a word, leaving her to confront every wound she thought she'd already healed. This memoire is a raw and unflinching-a wake-up to the narratives we're handed, the roles we're cast in, and the rules we never agreed to. It's about breaking free and learning to rescue ourselves when no one else shows up. Through piercing insight, gallows humor, and fearless vulnerability, this story shows what it means to rebuild-not just your life, but your self-from the wreckage. For anyone who's ever been ghosted, gaslit, or gutted-in a world where we often settle for less than we deserve -Up Close and Cunning challenges you to ask: Are you playing small?
