Things I Wish I Knew, When I Was In Your Shoes: The Blueprint to Owning Your Magic, Speaking Your Truth, and Staying True to You

by Megan Nobles

Overview

"You're not too sensitive. You're not too much. You're just becoming."

Growing up is hard-especially when you're trying to figure out who you are in a world that's constantly telling you who to be.

Things I Wish I Knew, When I Was in Your Shoes is a love letter, a lifeline, and a real-talk guide for girls trying to find their way through middle school emotions, first crushes, social media pressure, and moments when they feel like they just don't belong.

Written like a conversation with your big sister or the future version of you that's been through it all, this book dives into the real stuff:

Why your feelings aren't "too much"
How to deal with friendship drama and growing apart
Understanding puppy love (and when it's not really love at all)
What no one tells you about confidence, comparison, and healing
And yes-even the truth about the birds and the bees
This isn't a how-to guide for being perfect.

It's a soft space to land when you're tired of pretending to have it all together.

Perfect for girls ages 10-14, Things I Wish I Knew, When I Was in Your Shoes is raw, relatable, and full of heart. Whether you're crying in the bathroom at school or lying awake at night with 100 thoughts spinning in your head-this book gets it.

Because the truth is: you're not alone.

And you've always been enough-even before you knew it.
