"I need help."
Those three words saved Grammy Award–winning singer Michelle Williams's life. After decades of sweeping her 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.
Practical, engaging, and full of wisdom, Checking In will give you the tools you need to:
Tear down the walls around your vulnerability that are hindering your healingReject the lies of anxiety and depression and replace them with the truth of God's WordTrade toxic thought patterns for lasting joyFind freedom by forgiving yourself and others

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Being a successful singer, actress, and reality star doesn’t mean you won’t have your own share of struggles, as Destiny’s Child vocalist Michelle Williams shares in this intimate memoir. Williams opens up about her troubled family life, her career ups and downs (including being the supposed “least favorite” member of the trio, according to many toxic fans), and her relationship troubles—and how all these experiences have impacted her longtime struggle with depression. She also reveals the strength she gained through therapy and her strong religious faith. And although she deals with some pretty serious stuff here, Williams also has plenty of delightful anecdotes to share: from the beauty of a good room-service menu to all the lying she had to do on The Masked Singer. (And yes, plenty of Destiny’s Child tea gets spilled.) Williams' narration is natural and down-to-earth, like a good friend sharing her stories. Checking In is a celebrity memoir that’s relatable and warm. By the time we were done, we liked Michelle even more than we already had.
