The Path We Were Never Taught to Walk

The Path We Were Never Taught to Walk How to Remember Who You Are When the World Told You to Forget We weren't raised to truly know ourselves — we were raised to perform versions of ourselves that made others comfortable. The Path We Were Never Taught to Walk is a soul-anchored, deeply honest guide for anyone who has ever felt lost inside a life that looks "successful" from the outside yet strangely hollow within. Through poetic storytelling and piercing emotional clarity, Leticia Lilleström invites readers to unlearn the roles, masks, and inherited patterns that once kept them safe — and finally return to their original, untamed self. Drawing from lived experience, ancestral memory, trauma-aware insight, and profound emotional intelligence, this book travels through the real terrains of awakening: burnout, loneliness, identity confusion, love that wounds, boundaries that liberate, and the quiet power that rises when you choose yourself without apology. Each chapter reads like a mirror, a reckoning, and a remembrance for the parts of you that were never lost — only silenced. Perfect for readers seeking self-healing, identity reclamation, emotional renewal, spiritual awakening, and inner-child reconnection, this book speaks to anyone who feels behind, broken, or out of place. You were never lost. You were simply becoming. Themes: identity reclamation, emotional healing, trauma-informed growth, boundaries, self-abandonment recovery, awakening, inner-child work, generational patterns.
