In this brutally honest self-help narrative, Raelene recounts her experience as an entrepreneur, parent, partner, and flawed human being. She uses an empathic approach to relate to the reader, and encourages you to take a good look at your life, get out of your own way, and finally uncover your true self.

“Your life belongs to you.

It’s completely unique. You are completely unique. Your preferences, your personality, your habits, and your circumstances have all combined to create a lived experience that is entirely yours.

Your time also belongs to you. Well, some of it. You try to ration it out carefully. An hour for a friend here, a weekend for your family there. Somehow, you always end up with less than you thought.

This is the hole in your proverbial pocket. Through which time slips away, slowly, gradually, and before you know it, years have passed. You are faced with a terrifying reality:

You only have one life. Whatever you choose to do or not do with it, the world will not slow down.”
