MY THOUGHTS:

What if the pieces of your past felt shattered beyond repair? In Pieces of Me, Felicity Nicole takes us on a raw, unfiltered journey through trauma, resilience, and healing—proving that even the most broken pieces can be rebuilt into something powerful. One of the things I absolutely love about memoirs is getting to follow the author’s journey—the ups, the downs, and those moments where you just know a breakthrough is coming. You’re reading through the heartache, the struggles, and you’re thinking, it has to get better, right? That’s exactly what Felicity Nicole does in Pieces of Me. She lays her life bare for us, sharing her experiences with childhood trauma, a dysfunctional family, a narcissistic mother, her father, and later, the toxic relationships that shaped her journey into adulthood.

There’s a lot of generational trauma in this memoir, and I think many readers will find pieces of their own story within Felicity’s. It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s a reminder that breaking the cycle of pain and dysfunction isn’t just important—it’s necessary.

One of the most fascinating parts of this book? Felicity’s ability to see and feel the energy of those who have passed. It adds such a unique and deeply spiritual layer to her story, and I loved reading about how this part of her life unfolded. And can we talk about her resilience? Despite everything, she builds something meaningful—her reiki business, her healing journey, her life on her own terms.

This memoir has a lot to unpack, but if there’s one major takeaway, it’s this: healing takes work, but it’s so worth it.

Favorite Quotes:
“What I can tell you is that I have real tough woman genes flowing through my veins, but being as tough as steel comes at a cost. I was born into a family tree of women who are strong, resilient, and steadfast, yet these same women have battled immense struggle, judgment, and abuse. And as we know, these things create ripple effects—huge, generational ripple effects—if the cycle is not recognized and consciously stopped.”

“Basically, this period was a struggle, but these horrible events were blessings in disguise. Little did I know that they were paving my path to wisdom and success. And God, was that success going to be worth it.”

If you love memoirs that make you feel everything—pain, hope, strength, and triumph—this one is definitely worth the read.
