Book Description

April 2, 2007
Every woman has experienced her Big Breakup, the one that shakes her core and makers her feel she doesn't want to fall in love ever again. This book gently caters for those who have suffered from The Big One. While there are many casual breakup guides on the market, as well as those that offer breakup revenge tactics, none illustrate just how fabulous moving on can be. Lisa Steadman tells readers that a breakup is not about being "broken". Rather, she reminds women that a breakup is about celebrating who they are and figuring out how to pick themselves up after the fall and move on. It's about a breakup, not a breakdown!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book September 22, 2009
Format:Paperback
This is a great girl-power type book for anyone struggling with a breakup. This was definitely not "the big one" for me, but I had a few lessons I needed to learn; a few patterns I need to break, and I think this helped.

4.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Have Gotten Through It Without This Book! August 31, 2009
Format:Paperback
Recently, I had the really big big one---the break up that tore my heart apart. Stocked full of deception, betrayal and more drama that a mini series, I was at my darkest moment when I came upon Lisa's book. From the very first page saying 'Congratulations!' on my breakup, I was hooked. I never really thought of my horrible experience as an opportunity to turn my life around, but it really is! Lisa's charming and funny narrative and working points truly helped heal my soul. I'm having my Movin' On Party' soon and look forward to a happy, healthy heart--ready for a good man to enter next time!

Format:Paperback
I can go on & on & on about this book! I am still recommending this book from two years ago when it felt like MY BIG BREAKUP!! Was dating someone for almost a year. My instincts where SO right on TARGET! I considered this guy my best friend and GREATEST lover of my life! He wasn't getting divorce, and was caring a relationship with his co-worker who also happened to worked down the plaza from him and i believe theres more females.I wanted to crawl into a hole and die!! Make a long story short, Im a stronger person today and "she" is still dating him! I could not put this book down! I didnt have the "booho friends" to surround myself with but this book alone was the only thing that gave me a good night sleep, empowered, build my confidence, gave me hope that I was going to get though it!!It was basically pasted to me because I didn't have the strength to deal with this hurt myself!I had to read this book on my lunch break because I was crying in my car b/c that was the ONLy time I could show any emotion regarding this due to working and having to put a fake smile on my face!You know what I mean! If you read this book I reassure you that you will not need anything else but THIS BOOK! As a matter of fact, when the jerk still tries to contact me,..i have referred back to this book as my crutch and to remind myself that I am a diamond and I SO didnt deserve what i got in return! This book has humor in it but right on target and too the point and it doesn't beat around the bush!!Lisa personality,caring, wisdom just shines though her book! And for the cherry on this cake, Lisa is just as genuine and loving as her book! I had the GREAT opportunity to personally say thank you to her. Its SO refreshing to know that your getting a great book BUT also a GREAT person/author BEHIND this book! Buy it and read it,..it will change your life & you will feel empowered!!
