Discovering Me: "A Guided Workbook to Healing" is designed to support your personal growth and healing. It provides insights and strategies that have helped me transcend life's hurdles and affirm my identity beyond trauma and mental health struggles. The workbook embraces mindfulness, social-emotional learning, affirmations, gratitude, holistic well-being, and expressive writing for healing.

Every day, we face the choice to remain in the past or embrace new beginnings. My goal is to share the strategies that have been pivotal in my journey, hoping they will be valuable tools for yours. I envision a society where healing is within everyone's reach, supported by hope and strength.

To make the most of this journal, commit to using it for five minutes each morning or night. Place it in your favorite spot for quiet time. Set a timer to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Your journal should be something you look forward to. Immerse yourself in these pages—a compass toward self-discovery, growth, and healing. A portion of the proceeds supports my foundation, Healing the Roots Foundation, enabling us to further our mission while reinforcing the circle of healing. ✨

I'm Portia Mills Henderson, Founder and President of Healing the Roots Foundation. We aim to help children thrive beyond adversity by teaching social-emotional learning skills, coping tools, tutoring, and providing culturally competent counseling.

The inspiration for our nonprofit comes from my journey, shared in my memoir "Healing My Roots." The cover shows me hugging my younger self, symbolizing our healing from past traumas. This image reflects the belief that every sunrise brings a new opportunity for self-compassion, transformation, and growth.

My work with Healing the Roots Foundation empowers children to find hope and resilience. This commitment stems from my healing journey. I wrote my memoir to foster open communication between parents and children, shedding light on difficult topics and helping others navigate their paths to healing.

Healing the Roots Foundation was born from the trauma I faced as a child. My nonprofit aims to offer children the tools to navigate life with hope. Join me on this path of self-discovery and growth.

A portion of the proceeds from "Healing My Roots" supports Healing the Roots Foundation, enabling us to further our mission. Grab your copy today—the link is in the bio!

With Love,

Portia Mills Henderson 💜
