Janai Norman: Breaking, Gebunden

Klappentext

Former Good Morning America anchor Janai Norman shares the story behind the smile---from balancing fame and motherhood to the mental health reckoning that saved her life---in this profound memoir of breaking down, breaking open, and breaking free.

At the height of her success, Janai Norman experienced a mental health episode so consuming that one evening, alone with her two small children---she barricaded herself in her office, called her husband back from the grocery store, and ordered an Uber to the hospital where she was admitted to the psychiatric ward. There, she was given a new diagnosis: Borderline Personality Disorder.

What follows is an interrogation of self that takes the reader beyond the shiny veneer of daytime television and into not only the murky spaces of buried trauma and self-doubt and the challenge of juggling career demands, motherhood, and self-care, but also the clarity and hope that comes from self-discovery and self-acceptance.

Breaking is a triumphant story of honoring one's whole self and choosing to live more fully.
