Going from being tattered to triumphant, Santresa Marie’s transparency is the driving force of this challenging, spirit checking and heartfelt blueprint for “Loving Yourself First.” She shares her life experiences of sexual assault, depression, low self-esteem, self-hate, attempted suicide, dysfunctional relationships, and seeking love from every man but God; along with Biblical applications, to help others break the chains of bondage and learn to love themselves first. She recognizes that so many women are walking around existing instead of living.

In her introduction Santresa states, “Your heart is wounded beyond repair and the more it is subjected to hurt and pain, the more you create a barrier between it and everyone else. Now, the wall around your heart is so tall and impenetrable that not even you can get inside to see what is left of the warm, giving, and beautiful organ that once existed.” She speaks from experience and understands the power that one’s past has to keep them stuck and wondering why. Some of the chapters include, “The Superwoman Complex,” “The Cycle – Same Situation, Different Man,” and “Freedom – God’s Total Takeover.”

“Loving Me First is a product created out of love. It is my gift to you, to help free you from the things that bind you, preventing you from being the woman that God wants you to be.” It is clear that Santresa has a heart for women. A heart for them to walk in all God created them to be. A heart for them to learn to love themselves and the one that loves them most. Her direct, no nonsense approach is one of a Destiny Coach challenging women to take responsibility for where they are, to let go of what has them bound and to walk in the fullness of God. Santresa ends each chapter with specific scripture to give her readers a starting place, so they know that it is not just her talking to them; but God talking to them through her. She also includes a series of questions after some of the chapters to help readers think through their situation and get them that much closer to where they want to be.

Santresa stands firm on Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the Lord,” plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (NIV). This promise from God is the driving force that reminds her that her past is not a punishment but positioning for the destiny God has for her. Santresa is walking with you and cannot wait for you to learn how to and declare that you love YOU first!
