Respected: How One Word Can Change More Than Just Your Love Life

When it comes to finding love, it seems like everyone has an opinion. Rather than joining the loud choir of love experts and dating gurus, Respected helps women bolster their sense of self-worth and as a result, become better prepared to participate in healthy romantic relationships.

As a writer and breakup coach (yes, that's a real thing), Akirah Robinson has made it her life mission to remind women how brave their hearts are. As a survivor of partner abuse, she herself struggled to heal and believe that she might one day experience healthy love.

After kissing dozens of frogs, Akirah realized a change needed to be made within herself before she'd likely find her prince. She took a break from trying to fill the void in her life with unkind men and made a commitment to intentionally love and care for herself first. In doing this, she came to realize that all women, herself included, deserve to be respected!

"Respected" is Akirah's way of spreading this good news. With personal anecdotes, helpful tips, and thought-provoking questions, "Respected" is a book that helps women seek relationships that support their well-being by challenging them to first create healthy relationships with themselves. No one can predict when you'll meet the love of your life, but "Respected" just might inspire you to treat yourself with kindness and create a life of adventure until you do. If you are struggling in a relationship, healing from a breakup, or experiencing a long bout of singleness, read "Respected" as a reminder that regardless of how you feel, you deserve nothing less than the utmost respect–from yourself and others.
