The Message 108

By Elaine Broaster-White

Are you the kind of woman who is always encouraging, uplifting, and building up someone else, but fail to be the same person for yourself? You often suffer in silence because everyone perceives that you have it all together. You have a degree or degrees and either a stay-at-home mom, entrepreneur, or star employee. However, you don’t take your advice that you so freely give to others.

In her dynamic new devotional, Girl, Be Your Own Best Friend, Elaine Broaster-White provides you with powerful “starting points” for the next 31 days. Each day’s devotion is filled with personal experiences from Elaine to offer you the peace of knowing that you are not alone. She also includes practical advice, along with actionable steps and self-journaling, that will help you apply the discoveries in your life immediately.

It’s time for you to show up like the boss you are, and for the next 31 days, your best friend is here to help.

“Confidence Unlocked” is based on a true story that goes into ones life’s journey to finding and fulfilling purpose.

This nonfiction shares her testimonies of surviving a domestic violent relationship, lack of but wanting daddy’s girl relationship, seeking love in the wrong places, attempting to turn to man for self-healing, depression, battling insecurities, becoming the abuser, failed engagement, single parenting, being hurt by the church, backsliding, losing her faith and self-identity. The story begins by not embracing self-love. Falling for a male that she believed to be the one. The beginning was beautiful, a love that she’s never experienced nor wanted to let it go. As time progressed
she began to accept verbal, physical, mental, and emotional abuse. Since then, turning to man for self-healing. Failed relationship after relationship, struggling with insecurities, blaming self not knowing self-worth, and lack of confidence. Battling with stress and depression began addictions, developing medical conditions. She began to turn her back on God, not understanding purpose through her pain, until she’s had enough of a dark shallow life.

Fearing the judgement of others she kept so much bottled in, carrying adequate amount of hurt. She embraced the chapters of her life being able to grow and learn from her relentless mistakes. The pain she wore began to turn and show her glow of healing letting that hurt go. This is her journey through truth, change, freedom, testimony, this is her “Confidence Unlocked”.
