“This book felt like a wise big sister telling me the truth I didn’t know how to say out loud.”
This book is for you if…
You are tired of:
- Carrying everything for everyone else
- Feeling emotionally and financially stretched thin
- Struggling to say no without guilt
- Loving harder than you are loved
- Knowing you deserve more but not knowing how to claim it
If any of that feels familiar, this book was written for you.
What Live Well helps you do
This is not motivational fluff. It is grounded, grown-woman wisdom that helps you:
- Understand why Black women are conditioned to over-give
- Break patterns of emotional and financial self-abandonment
- Build quiet confidence instead of constant proving
- Create healthier boundaries without burning bridges
- Make decisions that protect your future
- Learn how to live well — not just survive
Why this book exists
Live Well was written for Black women who are tired of being strong, capable, and dependable — yet still quietly exhausted, financially anxious, and emotionally depleted.
Too many of us were never taught how to choose ourselves without guilt.
Too many of us were never shown how to build lives that actually feel good.
This book is here to change that.
It’s the conversation so many of us needed earlier — about money, boundaries, self-trust, and what it really means to live well.
What you’ll find inside
Inside Live Well, you’ll find:
- Honest stories
- Cultural truth
- Practical wisdom
- Emotional clarity
- And the permission to stop shrinking your life to make other people comfortable
It’s part big-sister talk, part roadmap, part reminder of who you already are.
