by Di Geddes (Author)
Courage to Be Me is a raw and uplifting memoir of resilience, self-discovery, and the unyielding strength it takes to rebuild a life.
Di shares her journey of seeking validation and self-worth while balancing the demands of nursing, a turbulent marriage, and motherhood. Her world shifts dramatically when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. With honesty and vulnerability, she recounts the physical and emotional toll of the disease, her decision to undergo a bilateral mastectomy, and the solitary path to recovery.
Alongside her health battle, Di reflects on the profound impact of her father's death, her mother's struggle with dementia, and the complexities of love, duty, and family bonds.
Her professional journey weaves through challenges of workplace bullying, ultimately shaping her understanding of leadership, empathy, and courage. Determined to reclaim her independence, Di takes the leap into business ownership - transforming hardship into purpose and building a legacy of compassionate care.
At its heart, Courage to Be Me is a testament to determination, empowerment, and the triumph of never giving up - even when the world insists you are not enough.
