CHOSEN CONVERSATIONS

 

An Author-Led Discussion Series Based on Chosen not Chasing

  • Read the book.

  • Share your perspective.

  • Discover what happens when meaningful conversations lead to lasting change.

Have you ever wondered...

  • Why do I keep choosing relationships that leave me feeling unseen?

  • Why is it so hard to let go of people who don't choose me?

  • Why do I crave validation from people who can never truly give it?

  • Can emotional wounds from the past still influence my relationships today?

 

These are the kinds of questions we'll explore together.

Chosen Conversations isn't a therapy group or a coaching program. It's a guided discussion centered around my book, Chosen, Not Chasing, where women come together to read, reflect, and engage in honest conversations about identity, relationships, healing, and emotional growth.

What Is Chosen Conversations?

Chosen Conversations is an intimate, author-led discussion series where we'll read Chosen, Not Chasing together one chapter at a time.

Each week you'll:

✔ Read the assigned chapters before we meet.

✔ Highlight passages that challenged or encouraged you.

✔ Bring one or two excerpts that stood out to you.

✔ Participate in thoughtful discussions with other women.

✔ Explore different perspectives in a safe and respectful environment.

This isn't about having the "right" answers.

It's about creating meaningful conversations that help us think differently, grow personally, and understand ourselves more deeply.

About the Book

Chosen not Chasing explores the psychology behind abandonment, rejection, attachment, people-pleasing, emotional dependency, and why so many of us spend years chasing relationships that were never capable of giving us what we truly needed.

By combining psychological insight with practical application, the book helps readers recognize unhealthy patterns, understand where they began, and move toward healthier relationships and a stronger sense of identity.

What to Expect

Each session lasts approximately two hours and includes:

  • Welcome and casual conversation

  • Guided discussion of the assigned chapters

  • Participant-selected excerpts

  • Reflection questions

  • Open dialogue

  • Weekly reading assignment

The goal isn't simply to finish a book.

The goal is to experience it.

Who Is This For?

Chosen Conversations is designed for women who:

  • Enjoy thoughtful discussions.

  • Want to better understand relationship patterns.

  • Appreciate psychology and personal growth.

  • Are willing to read between sessions.

  • Value hearing different perspectives.

  • Desire meaningful conversations in a supportive environment.
