Right when it seemed like all the pieces were coming together and
Keke was living her dream life, her world got derailed. She had put in
the hard work, she had put in the sweat, her passion and heart had

the hardest challenge yet and was forced to look inward to find an even
greater depth and understanding of herself.
In her own raw and intimate words, Keke talks about everything
including her struggles with boundaries, unconditional love,
forgiveness, and worthiness. She walks us through how enduring the
challenges that come our way leads to true performance, power, and
purpose.

book, Lauren Keyana Palmer gets real about life, career, and
spirituality. She talks about the tools she has developed to take the

journey back to herself as she finds a new center within motherhood,
career, and relationships.
