Publisher's Summary
 
"I need help."
 
Those three words saved Grammy Award-winning singer Michelle Williams's life. After decades of sweeping anxiety and depression under the rug - even during her years in the spotlight with Destiny's Child - Michelle found herself planning her own funeral. Realizing that she needed immediate help and could no longer battle her anxiety and depression alone, she checked herself into a treatment facility. When she came home, she was energized and determined to check in on a regular basis with herself, God, and others. 
 
With infectious humor and endearing transparency, Michelle shares the vulnerable, hope-infused story of taking that brave first step. Practical, engaging, and full of wisdom, Checking In helps us understand that
building walls around our vulnerability can hinder our healing; 
we need to reject the lies of anxiety and depression and replace them with the truth of God's Word;
joy can be found when we release toxic thought patterns;
childhood wounds need to be healed;
freedom can be found when we forgive ourselves and others; and 
a beautiful life comes from living honestly.
 
An uplifting, behind-the-scenes look at one woman's path to healing, Checking In reminds you that you are not alone, and that God is not yet finished writing your story.
