"Her final words were a promise I knew I had to keep. I have to tell the story...MY story."

Author Daisy Plaza experienced trauma and violence in her home from a young age: abuse as a child, gang membership, and intimate partner violence. It was everywhere she turned. It was what she knew.

Rather than letting this dampen her spirit, she used her experiences navigating trauma to help others on the front lines of the emergency room. In her newly released book I Did It for Her, Daisy shares how she was able to leave behind pain, trauma, and violence (including escaping a gang, an abusive marriage, and, even, a serial killer) - and focus on healing and showing her four children unconditional love and how to be strong no matter what the circumstances.

I Did It for Her is now available in paperback and ebook on Amazon.

Trigger warning: This podcast would be rated PG, but the book does include some graphic descriptions of violence. Its focus, however, is on how Daisy moved through these experiences, learned from them, and used her inner strength to leave this all behind so she could heal.
