Book Author: Jody-Ann Buckle

I was active growing up. Participating in ballet and tap classes, entering jazz competitions, joined the step team, and even the cheerleading team in high school. I was never clinically diagnosed with depression. Somewhere in my late twenties, I became sad and less happy with my life. Part of what drove my sadness was because I was no longer experiencing life and stopped believing in myself. I suppressed my talents despite several achievements. I felt unsuccessful.
