Beschreibung

Born into a home marked by profound dysfunction, Sandra Jarvis struggles to overcome the messages ingrained throughout her childhood. I'm not worthy. I'm not loveable. I'll never be enough. The physical, sexual, and spiritual abuse of her childhood, all hidden behind the carefully crafted façade of a model Mormon home, leave her wondering if there really is a God-and if so, what must she do to prove her worth? She marries young, hoping to escape the misery of her childhood, only to discover that you can't run from the effects of abuse. Bitterness and anger increase as she's faced with seemingly endless trials-postpartum depression, a porn-addicted spouse, an LGBTQ child, a cancer diagnosis, overwhelming debt, and fear. Constant fear for what the future might hold. With all of this overshadowing her world, Sandra thinks things can't get any worse. Then a tragic accident nearly severs her right hand. Although the damage to her hand brings an entirely new set of problems, it also gives Sandra an unexpected opportunity to not only recover, but to begin severing herself from the lies that have always ruled her life, the ones she's told herself to prove she's not enough. Only then does she discover that life is just what you make of it, that adversity can make you stronger, and that perhaps, things are exactly the way they are supposed to be. Severed: a Memoir of Hope and Healing is the powerful true story of finding hope and purpose amid life's challenges. It provides proof that even in life's darkest moments, peace is available, perhaps even plentiful.

Autor

Sandra Jarvis is a Certified Professional Life Coach and Energy Leadership Index, Master Practitioner. She's passionate about helping women with a history of trauma or abuse identify the lies they tell themselves to prove they're not enough. She specializes in helping her clients uncover their inherent worth and reclaim the power they need to start creating the life they deserve. As a survivor of trauma and abuse, Ms. Jarvis is intimately familiar with adversity and understands the work involved in healing and moving forward to create a beautiful and fulfilling life. She loves seeing the peace that comes as women start to believe in themselves and come to understand the power they possess in creating joy-filled lives. Sandra's history is fraught with physical, sexual, and spiritual abuse. She also has personal experience with fighting severe depression, being the daughter and mother of LGBTQ family members, marrying a porn addict, being a cancer survivor, dealing with infertility and miscarriage, as well as other major medical issues. In 2014, Ms. Jarvis was in an ATV accident that severed her right hand. Through five years, twenty surgeries, and multiple other medical procedures, her hand was reattached and partially repaired. Her journey of healing from that injury brought about healing in every area of her life and inspired her to write the book, Severed: A Memoir of Hope and Healing. Sandra also enjoys interacting with readers as a speaker and presenter. Her messages of hope and healing are relatable and uplifting, leaving audiences feeling inspired and motivated to face life with positivity and grit. Her message is one of choice--and she often poses the question: "How long do you want to be miserable? Because you get to choose." Sandra is a chocolate addict, a lover of all things Disney, and hopes to become a beach bum someday. She's the mother of five children, the grandmother of six, and currently resides in Mesa, AZ with her husband of 31 years, Jim Jarvis.
