Recipe to Empower Your Life

It is often from the darkest moments of despair that wondrous gifts are born. Such is the case of Dr. Tamara Pelosi. Many years ago, her pastor told her that God was going to use her shameful experiences in a way she could never imagine. At that time, she could not comprehend how someone as broken as she could help another. Unfortunately, it took a catastrophic and nationally publicized event for Tamara Pelosi to find the courage to lift the veil of illusion she hid behind. The event that changed her life began on October 21, 2001. On that ill-fated day the body of a New York millionaire was found bludgeoned to death in his East Hampton country estate. It was her husband who was eventually found guilty of the horrendous crime. Using her own experiences of a twenty- year dysfunctional marriage she developed a powerful recipe that can help you understand your lemons or negative behavior patterns and how you can uncover the healing ingredients necessary to develop positive attributes. In this easy-to-read guide-book, Dr. Pelosi offers women the means to begin their own journey towards self-love and becoming the best version of themselves.

Dr. Tamara Pelosi shares so much of her wisdom in this guidebook, taking difficult situations in her life and turning them into something positive. Her pure honesty in the first part of the book should really give others hope and inspiration.

The second part is packed full of tools (or ingredients) that can be a survival guide to empower others to make positive changes in their lives. I believe through sharing her own experiences others will begin to see the glimmer of light in their darkness.

I have known Dr. Tamara Pelosi, both professionally and personally, for many years, we met when I served on the board of the Sunshine Center that she co-founded. I recall how Tamara held her head up high never letting the difficult circumstances she was experiencing stand in the way for the children in her care. Recipe to Empower Your Life is a testimony not only to how strong a woman Tamara is, but for all women. Her recipes for lightening a wounded soul and coming out happy on the other side are some of the best ideas I have ever heard. This book is a must read for all women to help guide them to peace, understanding and success.

This courageous, honest and ultimately hopeful memoir and self-help book will inspire anyone who reads it! It serves as a powerful reminder that faith, when mixed with other key ingredients, has the power to heal lives. What a blessing for Dr. Tamara Pelosi to vulnerably share her story of how the lemons in her life paved the way for her to formulate this comprehensive recipe. She will indeed impact so many women on their journey seeking hope and freedom.
