ABOUT THE AUTHOR Nikki Navarro is a survivor who traveled a long journey from brokenness to breakthrough and finally to redemption. She experienced multiple traumas and adversities in her life, but she refused to be beaten down and overcame the challenges she faced. Now she is setting up a ministry to help other women overcome the major difficulties and traumas they faced in life to thrive again and gain fulfillment. As described in her memoir, she survived many unhealthy addictions, including alcohol, opiod painkiller dependence, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, and infidelity. For a time, she engaged in reckless overspending and indulgence to compensate for her deeply wounded soul. But then she found healing and a warm supportive community in her church family, when she and her fourth husband found rebirth and renewal through their Christian faith. It was a journey from trauma to transformation where she learned to care for her inner needs by standing up for, loving, and forgiving herself. As a result of her journey, she has come to see herself as a warrior who wants to lead women to achieve their full right and fulfill their higher calling. Her ministry to women is designed to help women do this. Additionally, Nikki is a licensed real estate and insurance agent in Texas, who became a top ranking agent, though at the time, she worked behind the scenes to support her husband and didn’t live up to her full potential. Then, after the 2008 real estate crash, she returned and became a top real estate and insurance agent, working as a team with her husband. She draws on both her entrepreneurial spirt and her drive to bring what she has learned from overcoming her own traumas to her new ministry to empower other women and to this book.
