"I did not begin this journey from a place of inspiration. I began it from a place of collapse." You've tried to push through. You've shown up when you had nothing left. You've taken care of everyone else and told yourself you were okay. But somewhere along the way, the person you used to be faded into the background. And no matter what you tried, you couldn't quite find your way back.
This book is for you. Be Your Own Medicine is an honest, deeply human account of what happened when one woman finally stopped powering through and started listening.
Through her experience with chronic stress, identity loss, single parenthood, burnout, and starting over alone at forty-nine, Lea Costello discovered that healing rarely begins with a new habit. It begins with a moment of radical honesty. A willingness to ask better questions. And the quiet courage to stop pretending you're fine.
What she found changed everything. And it might change something for you too.
This is not a book about becoming someone new.
It's about finding your way back to who you already were.
Lea Costello is a former professional dancer, entrepreneur, and aerospace professional who rebuilt her health and identity from the ground up after relocating alone to the American West. This is her first book.
