  • Edna J White No. Period. A 90-Day Devotional to Break Free from People-Pleasing

    Self Published

    In "No, Period. A 90-Day Devotional to Break Free from People-Pleasing," Edna White offers an empowering guide for anyone struggling with the burdens of people-pleasing, a behavior often rooted in the unresolved traumas of childhood. Drawing from her own transformative journey, White provides readers with a practical and heartfelt roadmap to reclaiming their true selves.

    In "No, Period. A 90-Day Devotional to Break Free from People-Pleasing," Edna White offers an empowering guide for anyone struggling with the burdens of people-pleasing, a behavior often rooted in the unresolved traumas of childhood. Drawing from her own transformative journey, White provides readers with a practical and heartfelt roadmap to reclaiming their true selves.

    Edna White's life was once dominated by the need to seek approval and validation from others. The roots of this behavior ran deep, tied to traumatic experiences from her childhood. Over time, White realized that her constant quest to please others was not only unhealthy but also a form of self-abuse. Determined to break free, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing, learning to say "no" and setting boundaries that honored her own needs and aspirations.

    This 90-day devotional is structured to guide readers through daily reflections, inspirational stories, and actionable steps. Each day's entry is designed to help individuals identify and challenge their people-pleasing tendencies, understand the impact of past traumas, and cultivate a stronger sense of self-worth. Through personal anecdotes, biblical wisdom, and practical exercises, White encourages readers to embrace their authenticity and prioritize their well-being.

    "No, Period." is not just a devotional; it's a lifeline for anyone who has ever felt trapped by the expectations of others. Edna White's compassionate and candid approach makes this book a supportive companion on the path to freedom and self-empowerment. By the end of the 90 days, readers will have gained the tools and confidence to say "no" without guilt, and "yes" to a life of authenticity and joy.

    Whether you're at the beginning of your journey or looking for additional support along the way, "No, Period." provides the insights and encouragement needed to break free from the chains of people-pleasing and live a life true to yourself

    Many people will make the mistake that a sermon, a book, education or a "smacked together" moral and good person is prepared to do the task.

When will we understand that no book, sermon, education or morality can prepare anyone for this purpose other than the mighty hand of the Righteous Father. No one can do it. Only God the Father in His infinite wisdom can prepare a person for His use, His purpose, His plan.

    Wounded to Wonderful

    These notes are the years of being an assistant in the religious sector. Where I have heard many messages and these are the parts I have taken from each of those people that have entered my life. So I share them with you... Life is all a decision! Teaching is an illusion of what we only agree to. We as a part of God need to know WHEN the teaching is over and we become the teacher! Listen to God from within!

    In 1999, I embarked on a journey of compassion and healing. Nestled within the heart of our church in Coram, I established one of the area's pioneering trauma counseling groups for children.

    Imagine a sanctuary where 20 to 30 young souls, often accompanied by their parents, found solace and support.

    Together, we shared stories, shed tears, and discovered laughter amidst the darkness.
