Description
This is often how real awakening begins—not through meditation cushions and incense, but through chaos, breakdown, and raw survival.
For years, Gabriella lived in survival mode—disconnected from her body, pushing through life, unaware that unprocessed trauma from childhood sexual abuse still lived inside her. When the memories began to surface, they didn’t come in words. They arrived through sensations, anxiety, physical pain, and emotional overwhelm. Her body had been speaking all along.
This is the story of what happened when she finally began to listen.
Told with unflinching honesty and deep spiritual insight, Unbroken weaves together trauma healing, plant medicine, nervous system regulation, and the sacred unraveling of shame. It’s not a story of fixing—it’s a story of remembering. Of reclaiming truth. Of releasing what was never hers to carry. Of learning to trust the wisdom that was always there.
More than anything, this book is a love letter—to the younger self who survived, the present self learning to live, and the reader who knows there’s something more waiting for them too.
If you’ve ever felt like your story was too messy, your healing too nonlinear, or your pain too much—this book is for you.
You were never broken.
You were just waiting to be heard.
A Note From the Publisher
I wrote Unbroken because I needed to. My body was holding truths I wasn’t ready to face, and when they finally came through, I felt like I was drowning in memories and shame. I needed someone to tell me I wasn’t crazy. That it was real. That I wasn’t broken, and I wasn’t alone. So I became that person for myself—and now I want to be that person for others.
This book is for the ones who feel like they’re too much, too sensitive, too broken to ever feel safe again. It’s for the ones still holding secrets in their skin. It’s my truth, and I hope it helps you reclaim yours.
