What She Needed to Know Before It Followed Her

Published On: November 12, 2026|

I wrote Before It Follows You because I saw a pattern — in classrooms, in communities, in the stories women shared with me across fifteen years of consulting.

Young women were entering relationships without a framework for recognizing what was happening to them. By the time they named it, it had already followed them into their next chapter.

Before It Follows You: A W.E.B. of Wisdom Guide — Know It, Name It, Stop It — is a student edition for high school young women. It draws on the W.E.B. Methodology™ and references The Return Before the Ready as companion memoir.

Because my own story is not separate from the work. It is the reason for it.

Teaching Beyond the Classroom was the foundational work — the book that started this conversation and revealed the audience. Everything that followed was written to meet the needs that work uncovered.

If you have a young woman in your life who is navigating relationships, boundaries, and her sense of self — this book was written for her.

And yes — there is a companion book for young men: Before It Turns: A W.E.B. of Wisdom Guide — Feel It, Say It, Choose It.

Girls’ Suite — Before It Follows You + EEE + Queen Moves — is $50 this Black Friday weekend — $55 after.
