by Jessica N. Turner (Author)

"This book will change your life! If you're wrestling with disappointment, heartache, or the curveballs life throws at you, Jessica Turner's story will speak right to your soul."
- Mel Robbins, bestselling author and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast

Learn how to recover from life's disappointments and rebuild a life you love.

What happens when you look at your life and think, I thought it would be better than this? You know you can't stay where you are, but have no idea what to do next.

When Jessica N. Turner, a mom of three, lost her 16-year-marriage after her husband came out as gay, her life shattered. With grit and determination, she picked up the pieces, chose hope and courageously rebuilt a beautiful next chapter.

During this process, Jessica discovered universal tools that can support you, no matter what you're facing. Using thoughtful reflections and exercises, vulnerable storytelling, and practical takeaways, Jessica will help you:

-Evaluate your disappointments, heartaches, and unmet expectations so that you can move forward in healing.
-Talk candidly about your feelings to forge healthier and more meaningful relationships.
-Practice forgiveness and empathy for yourself and others so that you live with more love and less pain.
-Regain control over the parts of life where you have agency instead of passively waiting for things to happen to you.
-Discover creative practices to cultivate daily satisfaction and contentment.
- Learn to love yourself and the characteristics that make you unique so that you can be more confident and content.

I Thought It Would Be Better Than This is a manifesto of hope that will empower you to transform your circumstances and move forward with intention and purpose.
