<p>How do you go from being a legally blind drug addict living in your car to owning and operating a multi-million dollar corporation? The Girl in My Wallet is a compelling story of how one woman overcame cycles of abuse, addiction, and incarceration to become a highly successful business owner and live a deeply fulfilling life. Teresa followed the only role models she had which led to a life driven by drugs, a misdirected search for love, and ultimately homelessness and incarceration. She shares her mindset every step of the way out of that cycle. Thought patterns that may seem ridiculous to others were her truth. Only when she'd experienced enough pain did she become willing to change. New beliefs became the basis for new behaviors. With new role models in place and a willingness to step into the unknown she went onto a successful career, entrepreneurship, and a deeply fulfilling life. As her life experiences became classroom lessons at prisons and shelters, she began to understand that compiling the information would make it available to more people. The Girl in My Wallet is a raw look into mental strongholds that once acknowledged and worked through can set you free.</p>

<p>“A stirring account of a hard life and hard work.” – Kirkus Reviews, First edition\n“You find yourself rooting for her the whole way. All the while, she’s rooting for you too.” – Melinda, Amazon Reviews\nThe Girl in Your Wallet is a brave and honest memoir. An intimate, raw account of a damaged young woman whose seemingly wasted life is on a downward spiral until she encounters God in a big way, this is authentic storytelling at its best.\nIf anyone had a reason to fail, Teresa had it. Attempting to numb emotional pain at virtually any cost, her life of abuse and abandonment set her on a path to addiction, jail, and countless damaging relationships. Her journey to recovery is a raw and candid look into the life of an addict and the path she takes from utter hopelessness to owner of a multi-million-dollar corporation.\nInitially written to reach out to incarcerated women, the messages in The Girl in Your Wallet appeal to a much broader audience. Anyone wanting to heal their trauma and build self-esteem can benefit from this candid, caring biography. Teresa helps readers learn how to identify their origins of self-sabotage and to stop the images of their worst failures, most humiliating experiences, and biggest regrets that play an endless, self-defeating loop in their minds. Moreover, she candidly shares every step (and misstep) she experienced with a level of honesty seldom seen in print.\nThe Girl in Your Wallet is the enhanced second edition of Teresa Nickell’s popular first book. Added to this version are workbook-style questions for the reader’s self-reflection, with space for journaling. As such, this edition can also be used for instruction, classes, and workshops.</p>
