“Sharing the story of my life to inspire others to fully live theirs.” – Teresa
What advice would you give your younger self?
“If you repeatedly pull back from new opportunities or find yourself whispering, ‘I can’t believe I did that
again’… this book is for you!” – Teresa
“A stirring account of a hard life and hard work.” – Kirkus Reviews, First edition
“You find yourself rooting for her the whole way. All the while, she’s rooting for you too.” – Melinda, Amazon Reviews
The Girl in Your Wallet is a brave and honest memoir. It is the story of a damaged young woman living a seemingly wasted life until she encounters God in a big way.
If anyone had a reason to fail, Teresa had it. Abuse and abandonment set her on a path to more damaging relationships and attempts to numb emotional pain at virtually any cost.
This book is a raw and candid look into the life of an addict as she chronicles the journey from utter hopelessness to the owner of a multi-million-dollar corporation a mere 11 years after her last arrest. Moreover, she candidly shares every step (and misstep) with a level of honesty seldom seen.
Teresa helps the reader learn how to identify the origins of self-sabotage in your own life and stop the images of your worst failures, most humiliating experiences, and biggest regrets playing in a loop in your mind.
The Girl in Your Wallet is the enhanced second edition of Teresa Nickell’s popular memoir. It contains workbook-style questions for the reader’s self-reflection and space for journaling.
“In the pages of this book, we have a private conversation. It’s just you and me. Grab a pen, and I will meet you there.” – Teresa
