About the Book

Chlarissa is a Senior Project Manager and Entrepreneur who has worked tirelessly to overcome teenage parenthood, poverty, domestic violence, and other generational curses that plagued her life. She was the first in her family to earn a four-year degree while earning a total of three degrees, several professional certifications, an admirable corporate career, and three successful businesses. However, nothing ever seemed to be good enough, not only for her but for the people with whom she surrounded herself. She noticed that she went from priding herself on her appearance to making self-care an afterthought. She realized that she focused more on making the people around her happy than she was on her inner peace. Through hard, life-altering, and soul-stirring lessons, she learned that while trying to make a difference within her sphere of influence and being a conqueror of curses was admirable; she also needed to know how to say "f* it" and walk away. She had to decide what it meant to be truly free. Sometimes the curse that needs to be broken is the belief that all curses are yours to bear. Sometimes you have to look within.

Are you owning the curse, or is the curse owning you?
