Book Cover & Preview Text
My name is Christy, and I have a confession to make. I used to hide who I was for fear of not fitting in or being abandoned. I spent many years downplaying my worth in all relationships. I apologized for being too loud, too big, too bold, and too different. It was exhausting. I no longer apologize for being me, to anyone. I no longer engage in relationships, conversations, or any other thing that asks me to. I knew all along that I was different. I’ll dive into examples of why throughout this book. I now know that being different has always been my ticket to freedom. I had big dreams as a young girl. Dreams that were unrealistic for a girl like me. Somehow, I knew. I knew I was going to help change the world. I spent a lot of time digging ditches that I’d eventually have to climb out of as I sifted and sorted through challenges and choices on my journey to becoming the woman I am today. I can’t say I am 100 percent satisfied, because I am always wanting to improve myself, be better, and do more, no matter how great my life is (and it is really great!); however, I can say I love myself inside out. I can say I live free—free of others opinions and expectations, for the most part. I wrote this book because I want that kind of real, liberating freedom for you too. I have a confession to make about who I am. I am a self-love and self-care junkie. I cannot get enough, ever. Loving myself inside out has completely transformed my life. I want that same kind of inner transformation for you. I am over-the-moon addicted to being unapologetically more me every day in all things. It’s like once I broke out of the container society tried to squish me into, things became easier, and my life got better. The positive thoughts and feelings I started having about myself became extremely addictive. I stopped hurting myself with negative addictions and started to thrive in a way I had never imagined. I want that for you too. I wrote this book to tell you that some addictions do not require treatment or therapy.

About the Book
We live in a time when more women are raising their hand and demanding to be seen and heard. Women have endless possibilities to create their dream business, relationships, and lifestyle. It’s a time of celebration and yet, a time to bring awareness to a bigger issue many women face. The fear trap, a trap that holds women prisoner to their past, stuck in shame, and afraid to act. Women want to know if they can have it all. Author Christy Primmer knows they can. In Confessions of a Self-Care Junkie, she shares that the secret to living your best life is hidden in your self-esteem, trust, and ultimately, your self-care routine. Inspired by her own journey of self-discovery, Primmer details how she learned to love herself, build her faith, and live a life she only dreamed of. Every confession highlights an area of both struggle and growth while teaching the importance of self-care from six different angles. Primmer tells how she went from living on the sidelines to center stage of her own life, discussing how releasing the need to be liked transformed the woman she is and how she lives. Inspirational, Confessions of a Self-Care Junkie gives you practical strategies to unleash your inner possibilities, release the fear, and live free.
