After escaping an abusive relationship, it all started with one question from her first therapist: “What do you like?” When Natalie M. Esparza couldn’t answer that, she knew she had some work to do.

Spectacle: Discovering a Vibrant Life through the Lens of Curiosity, is a brave account of Esparza’s personal battle with abuse, depression, religious trauma, and pansexuality. With each story, Esparza prompts her readers with questions meant to encourage self-exploration and to spark change. Questions like:

• Have you hidden parts of yourself away for your own safety?
  
• Do you find people in your life (work/school/family) tell you to not "rock the boat" or "just go with the flow" because it would be inconvenient otherwise?
• What family traditions were passed down to you? Are they still serving you?
• What would it look like to accept that life hasn’t turned out the way you imagined it?
  

Through this powerful act of sharing her life, Esparza strives to teach that “we don’t have to have all the answers, but when we lean into curiosity, we can experience the transformation we seek.”
