About The Co-Author
Lynn Lessell, CHWC, CLC, CHT, BBA
Identity Coach • Concierge Coach • Founder, Inner Power Partners (IPP)
For most of her life, Lynn believed that her role was to take care of everyone else first. Oldest sibling. The one who “figures it out.” The dependable employee. The wife. The mom. The fixer. The woman who would handle the pressure, smile through it, and keep going no matter what it cost her.
That cost was high.
Stress wasn’t just “being busy” for Lynn. It was constant. It was heavy. It was eroding her health, her confidence, her voice, and her sense of self. Years of putting others first, living in fear of imperfection, and ignoring her own needs built up until one day, she finally saw the toll: she no longer recognized who she was.
That was the breaking point.
Lynn’s true breaking point wasn’t just about meeting expectations; it was the devastating realization that chronic stress had gradually silenced her own voice, eroded her health, and left her invisible to herself.
Today, Lynn is an award-winning concierge coach and founder of Itz Why® and Inner Power Partners (IPP®), where she helps professionals and leaders who are overwhelmed by pressure, self-doubt, and nonstop expectations reconnect with who they really are.
Her work blends certified health-and-wellness coaching, hypnotherapy, compassionate-integrity training, and lived experience. She doesn’t offer surface-level “tips.” She walks with you through identity, boundaries, self-belief, emotional regulation, and the courage to choose yourself without guilt.
Once captive to stress herself, Lynn now teaches others to take back control: to turn breakdown into clarity, anxiety into self-trust, and exhaustion into a grounded, sustainable way of living and leading..
Here’s how the book can help you…
The Grass Grows Where I Am is a living collection of real, raw, and deeply personal stories. It’s written by those who’ve walked through pain, reclaimed their power, and are now sharing their truth to help others do the same.

WHEN HOLDING IT TOGETHER WAS COSTING ME EVERYTHING
I was doing everything “right”… and losing myself anyway.
Lynn spent years meeting everyone else’s needs and timelines at work, at home, in every relationship, until the stress became her whole identity. She was exhausted, overextended, and quietly vanishing under labels, obligations, and pressure. She looked strong on the outside, but inside she was asking, “How much longer can I keep silencing my own voice before I disappear completely?”
This is where her chapter begins: in the silent, private heaviness of being the reliable one while feeling like you’re unraveling.
Here’s a glimpse into one of those stories:
THE QUESTION THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING.
Who am I, really, beneath all of this?”
The turning point wasn’t glamorous. It was honest. Lynn finally gave herself permission to stop performing for approval and start listening to her own needs, values, and truth. That choice, to build resilience from the inside out instead of surviving stress on the outside, became the foundation of her work today.
In her chapter “From Stressed to Resilience,” Lynn shares exactly how she did it: the mindset shifts, compassionate self-questions, and boundary work that helped her reclaim calm, identity, and personal power. Readers will walk away with language, tools, and hope they can start using right now.
