Thank you for the bad*ss review of @secretlifenovel #Repost @bookstackcity with @use.repost ・・・ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Talk about brutally honest. This part memoir, part novel dives into the absolute truth of being a love and sex addict. 🔥 This is like listening to your best friends spill their juiciest stories of their dating and love lives. The good, the bad, and the ugly parts of sex and love are laid bare in all of their glory. 🔥 There are definitely some cringeworthy moments that reminded me of my own cringeworthy moments in life. 🔥 Although the main character, Roxanne, isn’t always likable, I thought she was completely relatable. 🔥 Structured by steps of recovery, this isn’t just scandalous stories, its a raw healing journey. 🔥 Admitting that you have a problem is just the beginning. It takes time, effort, and honesty to accept responsibility over your actions and to move forward in life. 🔥 The lessons learned here could apply to many kinds of healing journeys with the ultimate goal of self love. If your working on self growth this is a juicy stop along the way. Thank you @thebriannedavis for the #gifted audiobook in return for a honest opinion! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Goodreads: 4.18 Length: 8hrs 11mins Fiction/Memoir Rating: 18 📚 Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict @secretlifenovel 🎙 Secret Life Podcast @secretlifepodcast #secretlifeofahollywoodsexandloveaddict #secretlifenovel #briannedavis #quitlit #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #authorsofinstagram #slaa #loveaddiction #reels #toxicrelationships #reelsinstagram #loveadvice #selflove #toxiclove #sobriety #recovery #recoveryispossible #behernow #bepresent #igdaily #mentalhealth #selfawareness #selfcare #badrelationships #taylorswift #reading

I will say I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and would recommend it to everyone and anyone. I guarantee you will learn something not only about society but about yourself as well. The title may suggest some sexy behind the scenes Hollywood romance. Rest assured, it is not that. Within these pages Brianne bares the truth of her addiction, unapologetically. This is the journey one takes to lead a happy, healthy lifestyle and for no one, is it an easy journey. Our main character, Roxie has reached rocked bottom and this is where her journey truly starts and honestly never ends. She walks us through the ups and downs of joining Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous and let me be the first to tell you that we could all use these rules in our day to day life. I was fascinated with how to self-analyze and it is bookmarked for me to go back and try for myself. I loved her sheer honesty of comparing herself to someone else’s “highlight reel” and how much damage that truly inflicts upon us. Overall, I loved every page of this book. The raw truths, the sometimes embarrassing events but most of all I loved her perseverance, the ability to dig deep and know that SHE was worth fighting for. Thank you, Brianne, for sharing this intimate part of your life in the hopes of helping others. Find the time to read this book. “𝙏𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚,” isn’t that the truth? 📚 Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict @secretlifenovel 🎙 Secret Life Podcast @secretlifepodcast #secretlifeofahollywoodsexandloveaddict #secretlifenovel #briannedavis #quitlit #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #authorsofinstagram #slaa #loveaddiction #bookreview #summerreading

Secret Life Podcast #215 — Flirting is a Trauma Response — In this eye-opening episode of the Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt tackles the controversial and often misunderstood topic of flirting as a trauma response.

Brianne shares candid stories from her own life, including her year-long journey of abstaining from flirting to heal her trauma responses. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and urges listeners to examine their motives behind flirting. Is it a genuine connection or a way to escape personal insecurities?

To my younger self: I’m sorry for allowing people to hurt you so many times. I’m sorry for all the wrong decisions that you’ve made because you were not wise enough before. I hope you’ll learn to forgive yourself someday. I hope you’ll heal from all your trauma. And I hope you’ve learned from all the mistakes that you’ve made in your past. Someday, I hope you’ll learn to love yourself after all the heartbreaks that you’ve been through. I know sometimes it’s hard to forget the painful things that happened to you, but it takes time to heal. I hope one day you’ll learn to find your worth again. You were too hard on yourself and you forgot that you are worth it too. One day, I hope you find the happiness that you always deserve. I want you to know that your past mistakes and traumas doesn’t define who you are. You are more than your wounds and scars. You are more than the number of your heartbreaks. And I hope you always remember that I am so proud of you for being brave enough to stay alive. You are loved, and you are always enough. 📚 Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict @secretlifenovel 🎙 Secret Life Podcast @secretlifepodcast #secretlifeofahollywoodsexandloveaddict #secretlifenovel #briannedavis #quitlit #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #authorsofinstagram #slaa #loveaddiction #reels #toxicrelationships #reelsinstagram #loveadvice #selflove #toxiclove #sobriety #recovery #recoveryispossible #behernow #bepresent #igdaily #mentalhealth #selfawareness #selfcare #badrelationships #youngerself #lettertomyself #wednesdaywisdom #selfie

Secret Life Podcast Ep #219 — Self-Sabotage — Have you ever found yourself on the brink of growth, only to revert to old, destructive habits? If so, you’re not alone. In the latest episode of the Secret Life podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt dives deep into the topic of self-sabotage, exploring how our fear of the unknown often keeps us stuck in familiar, yet harmful, patterns. She shares her personal journey of overcoming sex and love addiction, emphasizing that real growth comes from pushing through discomfort and doing the hard work, even when it feels unbearable. Brianne also discusses the concept of internal family systems, explaining how different parts of our psyche, like the “firefighters” determined to disrupt our lives, can lead us down paths of self-destruction. She highlights the importance of small, consistent actions—whether it’s journaling, making a gratitude list, or attending therapy—as key steps in overcoming self-sabotage. This episode is a powerful reminder that while the journey of self-improvement is challenging, the rewards are immeasurable. Don’t let self-sabotage rob you of the life you deserve. ______ If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, depression, trauma, sexual abuse or feeling overwhelmed, we’ve compiled a list of resources at secretlifepodcast.com. ______ HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE PODCAST?
