The author combines personal experience with thoughtful research to take you on a healing journey—from trauma to renewal—rooted in God’s love.

In Anew , you’ll learn: the physical and psychological effects of adverse childhood experiences; - the effects of limiting childhood beliefs in our adult lives; and - how hidden generational patterns continue to affect us and our relationships. The author then lays out concrete steps you can take to heal from childhood trauma and break generational patterns and behaviors, opening the door to light, success, growth, and unconditional love. Take a leap of faith and break free from the constraints of trauma! You’ll find yourself living your best life—the life God intended for you all along! Uplifting self-help guide to change your thinking and live a better life If you've tried and failed to change the way you think and act, this book is for you. If you need a reminder "There's nothing so broken that God can't fix it," you'll enjoy reading this self-help guide. And if you're comfortable with your life despite the nagging suspicion that you've yet to reach your full potential, this book is for you. The book contains two parts. In Part One, Shyra highlights twenty childhood experiences that could affect your physical, psychological, and spiritual health. I recognized four that resonated with me. She then unpacks limiting self-beliefs and generational patterns that affect us and those around us. In Part Two, she offers practical steps on how to take responsibility and own your choices. It's hard to accept that the person who hurt you may never admit, take responsibility, or apologize for their actions. But that's a necessary step towards healing and one that I embraced. What I enjoyed most about this book is the hope it offers. Shyra writes from personal experience and has a spiritual perspective. She uses scriptures and examples from people in the Bible. And she doesn't sugar-coat the introspection and work it will take for change to happen. It is easy to read and understand. The tone is conversational and empathetic. Best of all, her practical tips are doable. They are not easy, but within everyone's reach. If you don't live your life within a spiritual framework, it might tempt you to pass it up. But the practical tips apply to everyone. Keep an open mind. If you're tired of trying or have lost hope, reconsider. If you'd like to live life as the best you, this book is for you. Read it through, mark what stands out to you, and return to it as a useful reference guide. It's a great investment in your personal growth. I received an ARC from Reedsy Discovery and liked it so much that I bought a copy.
