The journey begins with the pivotal decision to heal and to start embodying love in its purest form. She outlines the critical milestones on this path, including self-acceptance, the art of setting boundaries, effective communication of needs, prioritizing oneself, cultivating honesty with oneself and others, and the powerful act of self-forgiveness.
