At 32, Lisa Henriksson had reached all her goals in life—an amazing career, a thriving business of her own, a beautiful family, and the home of her dreams, complete with white picket fence. So why was she spending long nights wide awake, roaming her huge house, wondering what she was missing in life?
I Was Supposed to Be Happy
Lisa’s book, I Was Supposed to Be Happy is the story of one woman’s journey, struggling with common themes all women face—self-judgement, living within the confines of the “approval trap,” and living out other people’s expectations. It’s a raw, inspiring, courageous story of one woman’s cold hard look at her fears and insecurities, of choosing to be happy, and how she finally got there.
Her book is not an instruction manual, but offers questions and tools to help anyone who has struggled with self-worth, is addicted to pleasing others, has wrestled with the feeling of not being good enough while actually being an overachiever, has worried they’re not the “perfect” mother, or is searching for something greater than themselves.
