The Blurb:
“I have been a great critic of myself for most of my life, and I was darned good at it, deflating my own ego without the help of anyone else.”
What do our shopping habits, high-heeled shoes, and big hair have to do with how we perceive ourselves? Do the slights we endured when we were young affect how we choose our relationships now?
D.G. takes us on a journey, unlocking the hurts of the past by identifying situations that hindered her own self-esteem. Her anecdotes and confessions demonstrate how the hurtful events in our lives linger and set the tone for how we value our own self-worth.
Words We Carry is a raw, personal accounting of how the author overcame the demons of low self-esteem with the determination to learn to love herself.
My Review:
I am amazed to find myself having so much in common with D.G. Kaye. When she writes about low self esteem and how she drew her lessons from life, I often felt this could have been me. I was an overweight teenager and heard the same things said to me. Her book is an utter treasure, full of honesty and excellent analysis of the psychology and behavioural dynamics of low self esteem: How it affects your life, your relationships and life choices.
But for-warned is for-armed, as they say, and with this in mind, D.G.Kaye has turned the bad situation around for herself by facing her demons and finding ways to understand her needs and errors. By sharing her insights and advice with us we get a chance to learn from her experience and thought processes. There isn’t much in this book that I couldn’t full heartedly agree with.
As another reviewer put it: “I want every young girl to read this and understand the lessons Kaye has learned. Wouldn’t life be much simpler … A book very well worth your time.”

It sounds very interesting and… different. Sometimes I am scared to pick up books that might be too personal, otherwise I will get caught up in a whirl of emotions and it does take me a while to get out of it.
No need to get scared with this one. It’s very enjoyable and helpful!
I understand your concerns Alex. As an empath, I do get caught up in other’s emotions too. And so I write. 🙂
It sounds like a book I’d empathize with and understand. We are, mostly, except for that mysterious something which makes us all unique, products of our parents/guardians and upbringing (nature and nurture). I was lucky to be surrounded by love, BUT several aunts in the paternal side of the family were ‘clever’ and were my God-parents. I never matched up to their high standards, and linked with bad schooling, grew up feeling inferior. I am now ancient and wiser; am a published author and ever learning. Life can be a battle. FIGHT IT!
Thanks Joy. And fight we will! 🙂
I love your empowerment Joy. It sounds like we had a lot in common. 🙂
D.G. has such amazing and unique “energy” Christoph. I’m delighted to see another of her books reviewed here. Wishing Debby all the best with this book. Mega hugs to you both.
Thanks Teagan. I agree, Debby’s energy is amazing and unique. Have a thriving Friday.
Mega Hugs! ❤

“I have been a great critic of myself for most of my life, and I was darned good at it, deflating my own ego without the help of anyone else.” D.G. Kaye writes on a subject that all humans should investigate…the critical issue of self-esteem. Amazing how many times I will meet someone I think is great and simultaneously realize how little they think of themselves – and almost always for the wrong reasons! Thanks, Christopher Fischer, for sharing this with us!
My pleasure. I’m glad it resonated with you and I hope you’ll get as much out of the book as I did. And thanks for spreading the word 🙂
A lovely review, Christoph. I’m a fan of Debby’s writing. I love the honesty and the “lessons learned.” She turns every experience into an opportunity for growth. 🙂
She does indeed, Diana. Thank you ❤
What an important book. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Pat. My absolute pleasure. 🙂
