FA*RY TALE DETOX: Princess-in-Training

For anyone who’s ever kissed a frog and regretted it.Fa*ry Tale Detox is a sharp, heartfelt blend of memoir, lived wisdom, and non-fairy-tale truth—part life story, part reflection, part reminder that the stories we’re handed as girls don’t always serve us as women.Once upon a time, Jackie thought life was perhaps a Disney movie—castles, pearls, happily-ever-afters. Spoiler: it wasn’t…Prince Charming often looked suspiciously more like a frog in a tux (or jeans), tiaras gathered dust, and glass slippers? Well...they shattered.This is the story of a reluctant small-town “Princess-in-training” who soared, stumbled, and always got back up (and even moved to Paris to find fame). She discovered that Fairy Tales come with fine print, grit outshines diamonds, and scars tell better stories than slippers. You don’t always need a Prince to change your tire—or your life.Fa*ry Tale Detox isn’t sugar-dusted fantasy. It’s for anyone who’s learned that life is less bedtime story, more crash course in resilience (oh, and questionable dating choices). Funny, raw, and stubbornly hopeful. It’s a survival guide for women who’ve felt the sting of “Fairy Tale whiplash” and realized that you don’t need saving—you’re already your own Queen. No Fairy Godmother required either, just grit, grace—and maybe a glitter gun. Because the truth is: you had the power all along, the essence of resilience (yes, Glinda the Good Witch was right)....because life is NOT a Fa*ry Tale.Come on in…
