Daughter-My teen years were most like the character Chloe. I was focused on my studies and was determined to accomplish my goals and dreams. However, unlike Chloe, I was very shy and I often struggled with low self-worth. I was the second oldest of four sisters and I was often a caretaker in my family and a peacemaker for my siblings. Being a responsible daughter, at a young age, molded my image of being a Mom.... Mom-My greatest joy in life is being a Mom! When I became pregnant, I made a promise to myself and to my child I would be the very best mom I could be. Raising my daughter and watching her mature into a beautiful young woman has been a priceless gift. I am so proud of her and I am incredibly grateful to be her mom. Being a Mom helped me become a better teacher... Teacher-My first rewarding career was in teaching. I had the awesome pleasure of working with hundreds of amazing middle school and high school students. It didn't matter the city or the school I was in; I learned "kids were kids", and they didn't care what I knew until they knew that I cared! Being a teacher inspired me to become a therapist.... Therapist-My second career as a therapist has been my most challenging and most fulfilling career. Because of my own struggles as a child and as a young adult, and because I believe in the process of recovery, I am passionate about helping others. When I see a hurting person begin to experience healing, my life takes on purpose and meaning. Being a therapist provided me with a voice for becoming a writer.... Writer-My work in the field of psychology currently is largely centered around my writings. I am passionate about providing hope and healing to others. When readers embrace one of my books or blogs, their messages are designed specifically to encourage and empower them in making healthy choices and discovering their true worth! Being a writer and thinking of your worth inspired me to write Another Way Holli Kenley, M.A., Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
