She changed my life.

Who?

Louise Hayes, the mother of self-help books.

The Day Louise Hayes Changed My Life

I can remember exactly where I was, the time of day it was + how old I was when one of her books first fell into my hands. It was one late afternoon in my early 20’s when my friend handed me what would become one of my most treasured reads, You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hayes.

“What is this?” I asked my friend. I’d never heard of Louise Hayes or seen any of her books before that day. Little did I know the huge impact both the book and the author would have on the next 2 decades of my life.

The tears would not and could not stop. I stood there in front of the mirror terrified of brushing my hair for fear the brushing would cause more of it to fall out. I asked myself, the universe, a higher power, God, anyone to just tell me what I needed to do to make this stop right now.
