Prose that inspires you to step into the unknown, shut out the noise, awaken your inner voice, and actualize your highest self. Self-Assembly is a creative nonfiction collection inspired by the journey of awakening a young woman's highest self. The book is segmented into five distinct sections-Authorizing, Priming, Building, Installing, and Polishing-and the narrative arc woven through each set of prose intentionally parallels the home construction process. In her book, Victoria Lombardi empowers readers to candidly evaluate their present circumstances, permit vulnerability, dive into the unknown, and reclaim their inner voice. She calls on her audience to invest in themselves and become the sole architects of their reality by assessing pain points, traumas, and mistakes while tapping into their dormant potential. This book reviews topics like laying strong foundations, embracing ambition and purpose, rewiring fear-based perceptions, and consciously engaging in self-love. It is based on the premise that personal transformation begins when young women take ownership over building a stronger, more value-driven narrative for themselves.
