There comes a moment when the life you’ve built no longer fits — when the old stories, the old dreams and even the old versions of yourself have to be released.
No Longer Her(e) is a story about reaching that moment — and choosing to walk yourself home.
Told through raw reflections, journal entries and the unvarnished truth of life in transition, this memoir isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a companion for anyone navigating the wild, beautiful, terrifying process of unbecoming and becoming.
If you’ve ever stood at the edge of your own life wondering, "Is this it?" — this book was written for you.
From a glossy life in Chicago to the uncertain roads of solo travel, No Longer Her(e) traces Connie’s journey through heartbreak, divorce, grief and identity loss — and into something more honest, more expansive and more real.
This is not a story tied up with a bow.
It’s a story about the messy, brave work of choosing yourself, again and again, even when it breaks your heart to do so.
This book is for you if:
You’re standing in the thick of your own transition.
You’ve ever felt lost, restless or quietly questioning the life you were "supposed" to want.
You’re craving a story that doesn’t pretend healing is tidy — but shows how beautiful the mess can be.
This memoir was never meant to stand alone. It’s the beginning of a deeper conversation — one you’ll have with yourself, your grief, your becoming.
The Only Way Out is Through is the companion journal to No Longer Her(e) — created to hold space for your own heartbreak, healing and transformation.
Inside, you’ll find:
✨ Raw, reflective prompts
✨ Rituals for moving stuck emotion
✨ Space to name what you’re releasing, reclaiming and remembering
If No Longer Her(e) is the story I had to write, The Only Way Out is Through is the one you get to write next.
