Nonfiction / Self-Improvement
Date Published: October 1, 2024
Celia Anzalone Bowers went from a drug addict hooked on methamphetamine and
cocaine to a pageant queen, Love Waits for You podcast host, TEDx speaker,
nationally ranked-triathlete, mother, committed spouse, published author,
and a multi-million-dollar business entrepreneur.
After surviving a traumatic childhood accompanied with abandonment, sexual
abuse, drug abuse, and physically and verbally abusive relationships, Celia
overcame her trauma and all the ways she coped with it—overachieving,
people-pleasing, and addictive behaviors—by transforming her pain into
her power and healing herself—body, mind, and soul.
If someone would have told her twenty years ago that she would found a
nonprofit that touches countless lives, continually be featured on local
talk shows across Tennessee for inspiring others, write not one, but three
books—much less, use her voice at all—she would have thought
they had lost their mind.
She didn’t believe she could ever “come back.”
Two decades ago, Celia had no concept of what she was capable of—what
anyone is capable of—because no one had shown her the way.
Trapped in her own darkness, Celia had to feel her way to the light.
Ultimately, Celia realized the healing had resided within her the entire
time. She will show you so that you may see to believe for yourself—if
she could turn her pain into power—anyone can.
No matter where you are in your healing journey, you will find hope and
practical guidance in You Are a Queen: Transform Your Pain into Power.
Whether you are struggling with a break-up, some form of addiction, a
lifetime of trauma, financial struggles, a loss of someone or something, or
simply searching for a new way to live and to feel less “stuck,”
this book will offer you strategies for not only some relief, but for your
lasting healing.
