I Broke the Echo

Find your healing in the spaces between the echoes.

If you have ever frozen in fear of passing down the wounds of your childhood, this narrative poetry collection is your sanctuary.

I Broke the Echo is an intimate, sensory-rich exploration of what happens when your body still carries the survival tactics of an abusive past , but your heart is desperate to build a different future for your child.

Walk alongside a mother navigating the terrifying, beautiful landscape of raising her fiercely independent daughter . Through these pages, you will witness the profound, everyday work of unlearning generational trauma-from fighting the urge to lock doors from the outside , to refusing to measure love in counted crackers .

my mother locked
my bedroom door
from the outside
i leave
my daughter's
open
from the inside
that's the whole
revolution

This collection offers a profound emotional release for anyone healing from a toxic history. It provides:

• Validation: Relief that you are not alone when the "echoes" of your past get too loud in your own mind .
• Grace: Permission to forgive yourself, recognizing that healing is a daily practice rather than a perfect destination .
• Empowerment: The undeniable proof that you can hand your child an open door instead of heavy armor .
