Book 2 Sneak Peek - An Unplanned Detour: Fear, Sex & A French Chateau

This episode feels especially vulnerable. I’m sharing another excerpt from my upcoming book, this time exploring intimacy, sexuality, shame, worthiness and what it means to stop measuring myself by whether someone chooses me…plus a very exciting next “chapter” for me (pun intended). Tune into my essay, An Unplanned Detour, a deeply personal piece about physical intimacy, a scar that tells a deep story, and finally learning to separate my worth from rejection, relationships, and other people’s choices. This is about allowing ourselves to tell the truth, meet the hidden parts of who we are and love ourselves without containment.Highlights:(05:14) - The Chateau I stalked for years somehow became real(10:30) - A 2am email, a dream opportunity, and the power of finally stepping back into the author in me(15:47) - The moment a mark on my body became about so much more than a scar(20:13) - I am not measured by who chooses me, rejects me or walks away(23:09) - What changed when I realized I had been hiding my own pain from myselfResources:Join SJ’s 2027 Winter Writing Retreat: Earlybird pricing happening Now with 15% off using code WINTER15Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
