Stripped to the Soul: A Memoir of Finding Wholeness in a Performance-Obsessed World

Hiding protects you, but honesty transforms you.

When Jade Marrey stepped into a London club to audition as a stripper, she had no idea what she was about to embark on—the beauty and the ugliness, the pain and the joy, and the ultimate ripping away of self-protective layers she had spent years building. At times, the journey broke her, but sometimes the most beautiful things are made from those broken pieces.

Through the flashing neon lights of the club, the whispered transactions, and the voyeuristic gaze of strangers, Jade reveals everything she’s learned about identity, power, and perception. Weaving together personal experiences of a dancer with transformational teachings on shadow work, feminine energy, and self-empowerment, Marrey’s story will resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost, disconnected, or misunderstood.

Stripped to the Soul is a deeply personal memoir and self-help guide that challenges societal expectations and invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery. At its core, this book uses the baring of fresh layers as a metaphor for the work to be done at the emotional, psychological, and spiritual level—unveiling the raw, unfiltered truth of who we really are.

This book is for women who crave deep transformation but feel trapped by past wounds, societal expectations, or fear of judgment. Stripped to the Soul offers them permission to step fully into their power, own their stories, and find strength in their vulnerabilities.
