REVIEWS!

Firstly, WOW! The feedback you have all given me is so beautiful. I am truly SO grateful, more than you could ever imagine.

Secondly, THIS is the reason why I wrote the book. So it could transform lives, heal, and help people on their journey.

Here is where you will find all of your reviews and this is where I will be coming back to daily to soak it all up!

From the bottom of my soul, thank YOU!

 

" I just read this book from cover to cover! Not only did I enjoy this read, I purchased copies for my daughters. This book is raw, grounding, and deeply validating. What I Wish I Knew Years Ago doesn't talk down to the reader or promise overnight transformation. Instead, it offers clarity, self-awareness, and realistic tools for healing and building true self-confidence. What I appreciated most was how relatable it felt. The author Sam Brady doesn't position herself above the reader she walks alongside you. The focus on internal confidence (not ego or arrogance), releasing self-sabotage, and understanding your past without being defined by it makes this book incredibly empowering! If you've done self-help before but felt like something never quite "clicked," this book may finally put things into words that make sense for you. "

 

" Great for those struggling with negative energy and trauma. Author is really open and honest and shares deep personal experiences. This comes over very genuine and not just another theory. It is well written and clearly laid out. A very good read and life lessons that has some clear and practical lessons. "

 

" Truly Inspiring. Working on own mental health, I have never been a big one for books. I came across this one and something about it made me order it. I normally don't do reviews but I feel this book deserves it. It is written so well and is so relatable to me and my own mental health journey. The author definitely has a understanding and it comes across in the way it is written. The book is inspiring and gives you hope. It's a book I know I will keep coming back to when I am struggling with my mental health. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is struggling. All I can say buy/read it you have nothing to loose but a lot to gain. "

“ 5 star, Loved it. Loved this book, it found me a time I really needed it. It felt like the Author wasn't just speaking to an audience, but directly to me. Using her own life experiences she has helped me find a peace that I didn't know existed. A self help book that gets it, through years of personal experience and a heart that truly cares about others “

 

" I purchased this book directly from Sam Brady's website, and I could not recommend it enough! From start to finish, Sam is personable, direct, and caring. She provides background for her own journey, which can be applied to each of our own unique paths. At moments, I found myself reaching for tissues because I felt my own struggles bubbling back to the surface - but Sam is right that we need to do the shadow work and move forward! Once you have read this book, you will feel ready to unravel the past and create a better future! "

 

" I saw Sam’s post on Instagram about her book coming out at the beginning of the year. I've been her number 1 fan on the west coast, since fb days. I’m not the biggest book worm in the world. Plus I haven’t done some reading in years. This is the first book that I read in 20 years. In 2024 I had a seizure at Disneyland, do to high BP. I wasn’t doing good in life. I choose to drink almost every day. Always wondered when I’d quit. God gave me another chance in life to correct myself. When I started reading “what I wish I knew years ago” instantly I couldn’t stop reading this book. Every other day, reading 10 to 15 pages. Doing morning reading to late night reading. This book was meant for me. A lot of memories came up in my mind. Especially when I was a kid, probably 9 to 13 years old. I was always afraid to say what happen to me. This book helped me find a way to build my confidence back up and heal from my past trauma. I’ve been telling my friends about Sam’s book at every chance I get. I definitely would recommend it anyone who has troubles in life. She's opened my eyes, made them cry with sadness and with joy again. I would definitely re-read what I wish I knew years ago. Thank you Sam "

“ A self-help book with a difference!

This book actually makes sense!

Sam shares her journey with the reader. Both the good and bad. As well as all the highs and the lows. She really makes it  relatable to your personal journey. The book was easy to read and it gives you achievable tools to help yourself begin to heal from your own trauma straight away. 

I highly recommend this book, I have already noticed a difference within myself. I will continue to return to the book if I have a wobble.

5 out of 5, well worth reading whenever you’re ready to start healing. “

“ I’m not really much of a reader, but I absolutely love this book.
The way it offers hope and inspiration is on a whole different level. It helps you understand that everything in life happens for a reason.
This isn't a book you simply breeze through just to say, “Okay, done—I’ve read it.” Instead, you genuinely feel as if the author is sitting right in front of you, having a conversation with you about every topic covered.
Every page completely captivates you—your heart, soul, spirit, and mind are fully engaged.
I can definitely recommend this book; it is absolutely worth reading.
Thank you so much! “

“ Sam Brady achieved all that she set out to do with this inspiring book. She is a true example of a positive mind who worked so hard to conquer her mental health. The work in this book is an inspirational account of her challenges, will power and spirituality. I highly recommend this book to everyone who is undergoing their own mental health journey. “
