It's Gonna Get Messy: An Unfiltered True Story of Heartbreak, Healing, and Reinvention - Paperback

by Becca Eve Young (Author)

She built the life she was supposed to want. Then everything came crashing down.

A dear friend dies. Her marriage unravels. She's laid off while alone in a foreign country as a global pandemic hits. Then, just when she thinks it can't get worse, she gets the call that her father has died.

Stranded in rural Mexico, cracked open by grief, she experiences a visitation that defies everything she thought was possible-and it sets her on a wild, often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking journey. From car crashes and chaotic hookups to psychedelic revelations, silent meditation retreats, robberies, and moments of inexplicable magic-what starts as a freefall becomes a quest to untangle grief, rewrite old stories, and rediscover her own worth. This is what happens when life blows up and a woman dares to say yes to becoming someone new.

Told with spiritual sass, hard-won wisdom, and gut-punching honesty, this deeply human memoir reads like fiction. It's for anyone who's ever felt lost in their own life and is searching for more. It won't hand you answers. It does something better-it guides you back to your own.

For fans of Glennon Doyle, Chelsea Handler, Gabrielle Bernstein, and Elizabeth Gilbert, this is a soul-stirring invitation to remember who you are-and reclaim the freedom to become who you were always meant to be.
