About this listen

From world traveler, entrepreneur, and content creator @DearAlyne, a vulnerable and hilarious memoir of how she escaped the restrictive expectations of her family and faith and found herself in the process.

Alyne Tamir was raised to live her life for others: for her husband, her family, and the Mormon church. For twenty-five years, she put them ahead of herself, repressing things that didn’t fit the neat, traditional story that had been written for her. On the surface, her life seemed picture-perfect. But in reality, Alyne was miserable, struggling to reconcile her flawless image with the pain and humiliation of abuse, an eating disorder, infidelity, and depression.

Until Alyne reached a breaking point: the day her husband asked for a divorce—over email. Thank God! Or, not God. Finally free from the expectations of her family and faith, Alyne had to start a new life, which meant rediscovering herself and what she secretly wanted all along: the liberating life of a digital nomad.

In a singular voice brimming with honesty and humor, Alyne invites us on a journey of strength and self-discovery—with a little bit of irreverence along the way. Dear Alyne is a one-of-a-kind, coming-of-age story and a testament to the limitless possibilities that await those brave enough to defy convention.

I’ve followed Alyne on social media for many years and when I saw that she had published a book I knew I had to read it. I was even more excited when I knew she was going to be the one to narrate it and it has definitely exceeded my expectations. It is beautifully narrated with details and anecdotes with a witty and funny tone. It is like getting to peak into her journey of self discovery, facing parental expectations, difficulties with society and strict religious beliefs. I would recommend it to anyone to read, it is addictive!! I really hope there is a second book on her journey to prioritising herself and a third one on her new journey !!

Addictive, eye opening and brave

I loved how vulnerable Alyne was in the making of this book. Sometimes funny, sometimes deep reflections it really makes you feel like you accompany her through her life experiences. It also gave me courage to be more connected with myself and look at my own journey of seeking connections instead of connect with myself

Funny, emotional and very open self reflection book
