About The Author

 In this gripping memoir, Connie recounts her harrowing journey of living with a narcissistic, jealous, controlling, obsessive, and possessive husband. Enduring both mental and physical abuse, she made the painful decision to leave, dreadfully leaving her children behind. 

Navigating through the aftermath of trauma, Connie shares how she survived and thrived beyond the clutches of manipulation, desperation, and rage. This candid narrative sheds light on the complexities of mentally abusive relationships, offering hope and inspiration to others who may find themselves in similar circumstances. It is a testament to resilience, healing, and the power of reclaiming one’s life after enduring unimaginable challenges.

Despite this heart-wrenching separation, Connie and her children found healing. They again are the close knit and  happy family they once were.

Today Connie is an author, speaker, dating, life, and business coach. Connie is fervent about helping others find their own path to healing and growth. As the founder of Lady Hitch Singles, Hot Up! Courses, and Grammy Connie’s Etiquette Boot Camp, she uses her life experiences as a survivor or mental and physical abuse, a single woman who dated zealously, and a successful woman in business, to guide people toward self-confidence, respect, and empowerment in the realms of dating, personal development, and business leadership. 

Her large, wonderful family, which consists of a supportive and loving husband, seven adult children, their spouses, and nine grandchildren, is at the heart of everything she does, driving her to live with purpose and intention every day.
