Whole, Not Perfect: From Survival to Self

Whole, Not Perfect: From Survival to Self is a raw and deeply personal memoir about survival, identity, emotional healing, and the journey toward becoming whole.Through ten reflective "days," Lisa shares the realities of growing up in a home shaped by pain, discipline, silence, and emotional contradiction; while navigating relationships, motherhood, sexuality, loss, faith, forgiveness, and self-discovery.Told with honesty, vulnerability, and quiet strength, this memoir explores what it means to survive experiences that shape you long after childhood ends, and how healing often begins when you finally stop pretending.This is not a story about perfection.It is a story about learning to feel, to receive love, to confront generational wounds, and to find grace for yourself and the people who hurt you.For anyone who has ever struggled with identity, emotional survival, family wounds, or the fear that change is impossible, Whole, Not Perfect offers a deeply human reminder: healing does not require perfection - only the courage to become whole.
