A memoir about heartbreak, healing and the radical act of choosing yourself — even when the world expects you to stay small.

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.

About the book —

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.

Who it’s for —

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.

Also available on Amazon
