Kick-ass Strategies to Bootstrap Your Way to Unconditional Self-Love
If there is anyone who stands poised to empower others to get from where they are to where they want to be, it’s beloved memoirist and motivational speaker Regina Louise. She is a fabulous and fierce Black woman who has spent the last three decades advocating for what becomes possible when we give ourselves permission to live our best lives.
After living in over 30 foster homes, group homes and psychiatric facilities before the age of 18, Regina put herself through college on scholarship, wrote two bestselling memoirs, and began touring the nation telling her story and inspiring others to live life on their own terms.
In Permission Granted: Kick-Ass Strategies to Bootstrap Your Way to Unconditional Self- Love Regina says, “Often we need to awaken to the fact that we may have unwittingly given our power to others, and we need to make moves to take it back. Your life need not be as dramatic and/ or chockfull of adverse childhood experiences as mine in order for you to recognize that you deserve better and to accept that changes need to happen.”
“I am not here to talk anyone out ofunderperforming their life,” she continues. My onIy hope is to be a go-to for you, a friend, a mentor, a confidante or coach, someone to support you in realizing what is written on the walls of your heart, and to help you compose a new reality if what is written no longer serves you.” ·
“Who says that being born a woman of African descent, poor, supposedly unwanted, neglected, marginalized, stigmatized, and labeled bat-shit-cray means that’s all life will ever be?” writes Regina. ‘’No matter our walk of life, in my experience we always have the opportunity to expand our consciousness, come into awareness of our full potential, and grow ourselves up to fill our own shoes.”
Permission Granted puts a unique spin on tried-and-true techniques of personal growth as it helps readers deeply understand who they are and what they have been through. From this place of self-awareness, Regina helps readers transform past devastations and disappointments into motivations and momentum. With her own life experience being an ultimate example, she guides them toward self-compassion so they can learn to give themselves the care and support their lives may be lacking.
“As a result of going the distance and staying the course of my highest good, I became inspired by my challenges to spend the past three decades advocating for what’s possible when we honor the sacred within us: our own love, our own acceptance, our own dignity, our own bodies as a place of refuge,” writes Regina. “Unconditional love permits me to know what is true about me: I am right to be here! I am right to love myself! By grace alone, I am worthy.”
