When betrayal shattered her life, Marcella thought she might never recover. A mother of four, broken and raw, she found herself on the edge of despair, until she chose to begin again. The Year I Changed My Life, is part memoir, part guide: a year-long journey through heartbreak, healing, and the radical act of coming home to yourself.

With unflinching honesty, Marcella shares her story alongside the rituals, reflections, and tools that carried her through. This is not a neat how-to book, it’s real, raw, and deeply human. If you’re ready to let go of what no longer serves you and reclaim your power, this book is your companion, your mirror, and your medicine.

What do you do when the life you built shatters in front of you?
When betrayal rips through your heart, leaving you wondering if you’ll ever find yourself again?

This is where Marcella’s story begins. In the wake of discovering a devastating betrayal, she found herself stripped bare. For weeks, she could barely eat, sleep, or function. Yet somewhere in the wreckage, she heard a quiet whisper calling her back, to her body, her truth, and her power. What followed was not a straight line, but a year-long unfolding: tears, rituals, laughter, full moon circles, holidays with friends, solo adventures, and the rediscovery of joy.

This book takes you month by month through that journey. With brutal honesty and tender reflection, Marcella shares the raw reality of heartbreak alongside the unexpected beauty of transformation. She doesn’t hold back from the pain but she also offers the practices, insights, and journal prompts that helped her heal.
