In Home is Within You Nadia Davis delicately and powerfully addresses her three sons with brutal honesty, resilience, and strength, revealing both her childhood and adult traumas that led to struggles with mental health, chronic pain, addiction, and dysfunctional relationships, as well as to share the hard work and blessings of transformational healing, intensive trauma work, pain management, healthy co-parenting, preventing learned toxic masculinity, generational trauma, and more.
As a young high profile lawyer, school board member in Southern California, County Supervisor in Northern California, and former wife of California’s attorney general and treasurer, Nadia Davis has been a public figure in California for over two decades. Her experience with addiction and PTSD in the trenches of a highly publicized abusive relationship led Nadia through the challenges and pain of public shaming, a total lack of privacy for personal issues, isolation, injustice, arrests, and mandated treatment.
Home is Within You details her courageous journey towards wholeness and health as a woman, mother, and co-parent in a powerful homage to finding one’s truth and freedom within. It is also a defense of privacy and motherhood, as well as call to action against shaming of women and ineffective, often damaging system policies towards families struggling with mental health and addiction, with suggestions for more compassionate methods of treatment and restorative justice enabling those seeking health and stability to ultimately find their personal truth and strength within.
Home is Within You, A Memoir has received rave reviews from BookLife (10 out of 10 in every category), Clarion, and Kirkus, among others, and resulted in Nadia’s appearance on numerous mental health, addiction, trauma, and parenting related podcasts and panels. Her memoir now serves as the foundation for her work helping those in recovery across the nation.
Nadia Davis is the mother of three sons, a writer, attorney, former executive director and elected official, and kundalini yoga and healing teacher. She graduated from U.C.L.A. with a degree in Sociology and specialization in Juvenile Justice and Loyola Law School with a Juris Doctorate. Nadia has received numerous awards for her work improving the lives of others, including the John F. Kennedy Jr. Public Service Award, National Woman’s Political Caucus Woman of the Year Award, L.U.L.A.C.’s Hispanic Woman of the Year. Her journey of recovery from childhood and adult trauma, a near death car accident, sudden losses, addiction, exploitation, and public shaming is an inspiration to many, and anyone seeking a way of darkness into the light of knowing their infinite true selves and home within.
