my memoir

This book shares my personal journey through pain, healing, and transformation. It was written to offer hope, encouragement, and truth for women who feel lost, disconnected, or alone in their struggle.

From Self-Hate to Self-Love

How I Freed Myself From the Crippling Anxiety of a Controlling Mind and Found Love, Purpose, and Connection

A colorful book cover titled 'From Self-Hate to Self-Love' by Judi Larson, featuring an illustration of a girl embracing a heart next to a large tree under a sky with sunlight.

Night after night, Judi relives a terrifying event: Someone tries to strangle her to death.

When she wakes drenched in sweat, Judi tries to live a normal life, but constantly finds herself plagued with anxiety, dread, and shame. Her Mind drives her like a slave and refuses to let her rest, and it isn’t long before Judi is struggling with suicidal thoughts.

From Self-Hate to Self-Love is authentic self-help for those who hate self-help. It is more than a self-love for women workbook; it’s the dramatic story of a daughter, wife, mother, and survivor.

Bound to be one of the most beloved books about spirituality and recovery of the inner child, From Self-Hate to Self-Love will meet you right where you are in your trauma and provide a tangible path to healing.
