What happens when the people who should have protected you… are the ones who broke you instead? What do you do with the wreckage—when abuse, illness, loss, and betrayal have shaped your entire life?
Unbreakable is a raw, lyrical, and luminous offering from Tamera Nielsen—an invitation into the lived truth of surviving the unthinkable. From childhood trauma and abandonment to medical gaslighting, near-death illness, and the unraveling of love, these pages hold the weight of lived experience without flinching—and without performance.
This isn’t a triumph wrapped in a bow. It’s a reflection of what it means to show up when it hurts. To choose love—again and again—even when it costs everything.
Unbreakable is more than a chronology. It’s a companion for anyone who has walked through pain and kept walking. Each chapter opens space: A breath for reflection. A glimmer of recognition. A reminder that connection is how we carry each other forward.
Tamera doesn’t offer fixes. She offers what it looks like to live—truthfully, tenderly, and with an open heart.
Whatever brought you here, may these pages meet you with the dignity and gentleness you deserve.
“You don’t have to be broken to be moved. Just open.”
