In Dear Younger Me, mental health advocate Yollanda Zhang uses letters addressed to her younger self to heal the past and reclaim the future.
Through a series of intimate conversations and letters to her younger self, Yollanda Zhang traces her journey from childhood trauma and mental health challenges — including a diagnosis of bipolar disorder — to reclaiming her voice, body, and power.
Written with raw honesty, heart, and wisdom, the book dives into themes of intergenerational trauma, cultural identity, inner child reparenting, and mental health stigma in immigrant communities. As these conversations unfold, you are invited into a deeply personal yet universally resonant journey through silence, shame, and ultimately, self-acceptance.
You can journey with Yollanda Zhang with the included "Dear Younger Me" toolkit: practical methods, frameworks, and healing practices rooted in Yollanda's lived experience and therapeutic training. Perfect for parents, young adults, and anyone seeking hope after hardship, Dear Younger Me is more than a story of healing from the past — it's an invitation to begin again.
