Her journey would take her through an abusive marriage, single motherhood, the unraveling of a lifelong religious identity, professional setbacks and reinvention, an unexpected path to executive leadership, years of unexplained facial pain, and eventually a cancer diagnosis that taught her the importance of trusting her own voice when others would not listen.But this is not simply a story about surviving difficult things.It is also a story about raising a daughter while growing up alongside her, finding love on her own terms, building a career from the ground up, traveling to places she once only dreamed of seeing, questioning beliefs she had inherited, loving an unruly collection of pugs, and discovering that changing your mind can sometimes require as much courage as standing your ground.Told with humor, vulnerability, and an unapologetic voice, You Can't Tell Me What to Do! is a memoir about perseverance, reinvention, self-trust, and the long, imperfect process of becoming your own.…
