Ryan interviews Agnes about her new memoir Seven Rings, One Love, now available on Amazon in English and Polish. Agnes explains why it took over ten years to finish, how she had to forgive herself and her family, and what six failed engagements taught her about marrying out of need instead of love. They also talk about asking for help, breaking away from the life other people hand you, and the book's upcoming promotion.
Takeaways
- Understand and own what happened to you, because unprocessed pain stays with you and hurts more as you age.
- Ask for help when taking on something hard, whether it is a book or a bad stretch in life.
- The big lesson of the memoir is to be with someone because you want to be, not because you need to be.
