About this listen

In this stunning tale of life and living, Tina Ruysseveldt redefines the meaning of self-care as she takes you on the journey she has travelled as both the patient and the health care professional to the other side of both addictions and cancer.

By sharing her story and her truth, the listener is both challenged and assisted as they embark on their own destined path of wellness. This book represents her effort to share what she has learned and as a roadmap to help listeners grow and evolve as they find their own courage to be true, and set their best self free.

Tina Ruysseveldt’s rise from a neglected childhood in an abusive alcoholic home to a career as a respected Canadian nurse is a breath-taking tribute to the power of the human spirit.

Told with rigorous honesty, this memoir takes listeners on Tina’s gripping journey through her life of substance abuse and then, ultimately, towards a state of wellbeing she would have considered unimaginable in her youth.

Hear how Tina’s LiveWell Recipe for self-care helped save her from alcoholism and later helped her recover from the deadly cancer that nearly took her life. And soak up this book’s important reminder that there is hope for everyone.

Good book overall

I absolutely love a honest share . I struggled with the repetitive “we” statements, confessing the wrongs of other on few occasions although I understand why it had to be included,just tha language was a bit codependent, the reference of maladaptive ways of coping /addiction as disease, and consistently referring to a diseased part of self (not in physical terms),the constant reference to AA and higher power is something I don’t relate to. I had to take repeated breaks and I think the benefit for me in listening to the end was the control and examination of an impulse to return. That said whatever works and we are all different, many might find it more inspirational that I did.
