about the author
Corissa Howard is a mother of two, wife of over 27 years, and owner of C5 Fitness, LLC (#C5Life). She enjoys learning as a lifestyle and is currently a nursing student in Georgia. She homeschooled her children from Kindergarten through High School and was a homeschool educator in several programs.
Corissa believes in authenticity, miracles, and mysteries, and she desires to fulfil God’s calling through obedience. Her background is in fitness, education, and non-denominational Christian studies. She believes life is full of connected mysteries and encourages people to be comfortable in the discovery of them. Everyone has a story that is unraveling the great and mysterious creator of the universe. Her faith in Jesus has encouraged her to overcome life’s challenges entangled with doubt, fear, and worry that good enough is genuinely good enough. Often, we believe life is keeping us in a victim statehood like an orphan child, but when we begin to elevate our perspectives, we then become like a butterfly full of vibrant color, enjoying the beautiful surroundings without a care in the world. Our mental peace may take time and practice, but eventually, it will be present within us.
about the book
In “No More Band-Aids,” Corissa writes that life isn’t a well-rehearsed Broadway performance designed for entertainment purposes; it’s what happens behind the curtains. The book is a special invitation to all the warriors hiding their pain from others to step out from under the weight of societal and cultural labels. The book’s central aspect is ‘Band-Aids’ – the figurative quick-fixes for deeper wounds. By highlighting this important element, Corissa wants to reflect how some people choose temporary, surface-level solutions for themselves when they feel broken, misunderstood, or afraid. The book revolves around a question: What happens when we stop labelling ourselves and start listening to our hearts without any external pressure? The answer is that we will have better versions of ourselves, devoid of hidden pain.

I stumbled on this book at just the right time. After years of therapy and self-help books, I found something in No More Band-Aids that none of those offered. A spiritual blueprint for healing from within. It’s messy. It’s vulnerable. It’s real. That’s why it works.

This book gave me permission to let go of perfection and just be. I’ve spent years performing, pleasing, proving… and No More Band-Aids reminded me that healing doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from surrendering. Corissa’s writing is poetic, fierce, and deeply spiritual.

Reading No More Band-Aids felt like someone finally put words to what I’ve wrestled with my whole life trying to live up to labels, roles, and expectations that never truly defined me. Corissa Howard’s honesty is raw, refreshing, and deeply moving. This isn’t just a Christian book; it’s a wake-up call to stop patching over our pain and start real healing.

I didn’t expect to cry as much as I did reading this. Corissa’s journey is both incredibly personal and somehow entirely relatable. Her voice is so authentic—it’s like having a heart-to-heart with a wise, kind friend who isn’t afraid to challenge you. I’ve already bought copies for my sisters.

What I love most about this book is how Corissa speaks about faith without putting on a mask. She doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out, and that vulnerability makes her message hit even harder. It’s not just about belief—it’s about letting go of shame, identity traps, and fear. I felt seen.
