The Girl in My Wallet
Description:
How do you go from being a legally blind drug addict living in your car to owning and operating a multi-million dollar corporation? The Girl in My Wallet is a compelling story of how one woman overcame cycles of abuse, addiction, and incarceration to become a highly successful business owner and live a deeply fulfilling life. Teresa followed the only role models she had which led to a life driven by drugs, a misdirected search for love, and ultimately homelessness and incarceration. She shares her mindset every step of the way out of that cycle. Thought patterns that may seem ridiculous to others were her truth. Only when she'd experienced enough pain did she become willing to change. New beliefs became the basis for new behaviors. With new role models in place and a willingness to step into the unknown she went onto a successful career, entrepreneurship, and a deeply fulfilling life. As her life experiences became classroom lessons at prisons and shelters, she began to understand that compiling the information would make it available to more people. The Girl in My Wallet is a raw look into mental strongholds that once acknowledged and worked through can set you free.
