Book: The Nourishment Guide For Women
This book reveals our secret lives, by exposing the lack of emotional nourishment, what we wish we had, what we got and how we changed as a result.
This book contains a collection of interviews and is part of a larger project which involves a video documentary in which I seek out answers to the questions that have plagued me most of my life. What is “nourishment”, how do we get it and what can we do to make sure that future generations receive it.
Women suffer in silence and feel angry, depressed and unfulfilled. We wonder why and if it will ever change. In “Get hugs tell me you love me see the sunset”, we read about every day women, from all walks of life, and their efforts to deal with the results of the lack of emotional nourishment in their lives. They also freely discuss how they readjusted their lives with intent and purpose and what they hope to achieve in their futures as well as give possible solutions for avoiding this ”epidemic” in the younger generation.
Over the course of the last ten years I interviewed dozens of women, asking them several key questions, ones which I had been asking myself most of my life. The main one was “Why did I feel like I never got any nourishment from anyone or anything?” I was excited to learn from other women what it is, if one could still find it and how they had found it. I felt comforted in having them share these revelations and their struggles, past and present. My own circumstances seemed much less dire in light of these stories and I heard about moments of inspiration as well as real solutions to their feelings of disconnectedness and chronic dissatisfaction, the hills and valleys traversed in hope and often ending in feelings of peace and happiness.
