Dana Diaz's experiences with emotional and physical abuse shaped her understanding of self-worth and, later, the importance of setting boundaries.

Dana examines her personal connection between emotional well-being and physical health. After years of living with constant stress and illness, she left her narcissistic husband and started to rebuild her life. And with the removal of that stress, her health quickly improved.

Which is food for thought for all of us.

Dana's story is a reminder that it is never too late to start over. It's never too late to step up to the plate and design our own lives. And it's never too late to find health and happiness.

It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!
