Does a book help women on a global scale?

Yes.

Should this be priority over my YouTube videos?

And that if they weren't in a toxic relationship, if they weren't with someone that was gaslighting them for 10 years, if they weren't with someone that was verbally abusing them, or just someone that actually made them feel numb, right?

Yes.

Because it's a different mechanism because I've already got the YouTube channel.

So now people that like books, I can reach them in different places.

So that's how I decided to write the book in the first place.

Not even to that extreme, just somebody that doesn't set you alight.

As I was writing it, I was like, what are the things that got in my way that really impacted me building my confidence that eventually led to me having a life that I feel like I thrive in?

That dense women's confidence, more than losing a job, more than potentially having to sell a house,

All these things that we think of as being stress, having a relationship that brings you down will be one of the top things that sucks your confidence out and erodes you.

And in hindsight, because I think everything is a lesson, failure is a lesson, success is a lesson.

So after I wrote the book, over time, what I realized was a lot of women were coming up to me and saying that their confidence got dented by toxic relationships.

And so once I really identified that, I was like, I have to talk about my past toxic relationship before I met my husband.

And that if they weren't in a toxic relationship, if they weren't with someone that was gaslighting them for 10 years, if they weren't with someone that was verbally abusing them, or just someone that actually made them feel numb, right?

Now, the reason being, he, my ex, was the person that was trying to hold me down, hold me down from my dreams, my goals.

Not even to that extreme, just somebody that doesn't set you alight.

I wanted to come to America and he just used to mock them.

And it wasn't kind.
