Real life, lessons, and growth that comes from being a bona fide Badass!Badass Stories is all about the grit of survival in tough times, the growth that comes from pain, the hope for something better, and the healing that happens along the way. It is a compilation of short stories that illustrate some of the most important lessons I've learned about life from the real people in my life and my psychology practice. They are everyday human stories of heartache, inspiration, and change. Badass Stories focuses on what we can easily miss in the shitshow of life ? the big lessons that come from the accumulation of little things in the everyday. The stories are real, relatable, and therapeutic for the average person, without the extreme positivity that can leave some readers feeling they are being told to think happy thoughts ? which can convey a sense of inadequacy.
