Girlboss Lost is a deeply personal memoir that blends personal narrative, psychology, and scientific metaphor to examine hyper-independence, childhood chaos and trauma, and the subtle ways that extreme self-reliance is promoted to women and can make them vulnerable to control and abuse. Using the scientific method as both framework and underlying philosophy, Girl Boss Lost reframes personal healing not as a major transformation into a fixed, perfected state of the Self, but as an ongoing process of observation, revisiting past concepts, and becoming rather than a state of being.
The book first challenges the cultural myth that science is purely objective and detached from intuition. Instead, Girl Boss Lost argues that science—much like personal identity—is a subjective human endeavor shaped by perspective, individual values, and interpretation. This framework is the lens through which the author examines her own life: a childhood shaped by addiction and chaos, adolescence marked by self-harm and dissociation, adulthood defined by professional success alongside intimate partner abuse, and eventual reclamation through self-observation of cold, hard evidence.
This memoir sits at the intersection of feminist critique, trauma-informed storytelling, and intellectual inquiry. It speaks directly to women raised to be hyper-capable, self-sacrificing, and emotionally vigilant—those taught to never need help for anything, and who have paid dearly for that lesson.
