Stella Dove emerges from the shadows of her past with raw authenticity, sharing a journey that took her from the passenger seat of a gangster’s Bentley to becoming a transformative force in emotional healing.

Living under constant threat fundamentally rewired her brain—a physiological response to trauma that continues to surface even today. Yet from this darkness emerged profound wisdom about our emotional landscapes.
