I was inspired to write The Journey to Self-Love to help others that have struggled with loving themselves. While my mother is, and always has been, an awesome mom, I feel like she did not teach my sister and I self-love. Probably because no one taught her.
My lack of self-love was a factor in me being in some very toxic romantic relationships. Also, my lack of self-love caused some of my friendships to be imbalanced, with me getting the least out of the friendship. However, through my determination to turn my life around, rededicating my life to Christ, I was able to love myself, and make better decisions regarding the people I allow in my life, as well as setting boundaries and prioritizing.
Book Review:
The Journey to Self-Love: Part 1 by Natisha L. Fauntleroy is an honest and heartfelt reflection on learning to embrace one’s worth. With vulnerability and faith at its core, Natisha shares how her lack of self-love once led her into toxic relationships and one-sided friendships. What makes this book inspiring is her determination to break free from those cycles and rebuild her life with Christ at the center.
Her story serves as both testimony and guide—showing readers that self-love is not selfish, but necessary for healthy relationships, boundaries, and personal growth. Through candid storytelling, Natisha reminds us that love begins within, and with God’s guidance, transformation is possible.
This book is a gentle yet powerful encouragement for anyone struggling with self-worth, offering hope that healing and self-love can be found when faith and perseverance meet. A relatable and uplifting read.
