10 Years of Finding My Shoes
The Story That Changed Her Life
Became a Story That Changes Lives.
Ten years after sharing her extraordinary journey from homelessness and addiction to recovery, education, leadership, and purpose, Dr. Brenda Combs is celebrating how far one story can travel.
October 23, 2026 | Times Square, New York City
Join Dr. Brenda for the special anniversary release of Finding My Shoes and a Times Square celebration marking ten years of resilience, transformation, and impact.
Ten Years Later
The Book Was Only the Beginning.
A decade ago, Finding My Shoes introduced readers to Dr. Brenda Combs' journey from homelessness and addiction to recovery, education, and purpose.
But her story didn't end when the book was published.
Over the last ten years, Dr. Brenda has continued turning her lived experience into leadership, becoming an author, international speaker, entrepreneur, publisher, educator, producer, playwright, and advocate whose work reminds others that where you begin does not determine where you can go.
What began as one woman's story of finding the courage to take another step has grown into a body of work dedicated to creating opportunities for others to recognize the possibility within their own stories.
From Finding Her Shoes to Standing in Times Square
On October 23, we celebrate more than the anniversary of a book.
We celebrate ten years of steps.
The steps that came after recovery.
The steps toward education.
The steps onto stages.
The books written and published.
The businesses and organizations built.
The lives touched.
The communities created.
And the decision, again and again, to keep moving forward.
Now, the message of Finding My Shoes will rise above one of the most visible intersections in the world:
Times Square. New York City.
Not simply as a celebration of how far Dr. Brenda has come, but as a reminder to anyone who has ever wondered whether their circumstances get the final word:
Your Story Is Not Over.
