When To Get Up From The Table
When To Get Up From The Table is for the woman who’s been holding it all together while quietly coming undone.
This book speaks to the moments when love, relationships, and loyalty begin to cost you your peace, your voice, and your self-worth. It’s not about blame—it’s about awakening.
I wrote this because I know what it feels like to sit at a table where you’re no longer being fed… and still stay.
Not because you’re weak—
But because you’re loyal. Because you believe in love.
But somewhere along the way… You stopped choosing yourself.
This book isn’t here to judge you.
It’s here to wake you up.
To help you see what you’ve been trying to explain away.
To remind you—your worth is not tied to how much you can endure.
Through honest reflection and powerful truths, this book challenges you to stop shrinking, stop settling, and start choosing yourself.
Because at some point, every woman has to decide when it’s time to finally get up from the table.
