For those still whispering “How do I leave?”

—this book is for you...


"This book is a love letter to the woman still carrying silence like it’s survival."

This Book is For You If...


  • You’ve ever been told you’re too much
  • You’ve stayed in places that hurt, because you believed love meant endurance
  • You’re healing from abuse, emotional manipulation, or childhood trauma
  • You crave truth-telling without sugarcoating
  • You want to feel seen — fully, fiercely, and without apology.  

About Me

Author. Brand Alchemist. Elvis Enthusiast.


Founder of Ditch Key Words, L.L.C., Christina Ditchkofsky isn’t just here to build brands—she’s here to raise voices. A trauma-informed author coach, branding strategist, and Registered Nurse, she blends clinical smarts with creative fire to help authors ditch the clichés and show up as their most powerful selves.


Her memoir, Burnt Letters, (releases Summer 2025) didn’t start as a book—it started as secret notes scribbled in survival mode. What it became is a raw, no-B.S. story of childhood trauma, emotional abuse, and the gut-wrenching truth behind the question: “Why didn’t you just leave?”


Now? Christina is done being quiet.


And she’s helping other writers do the same.


When she’s not coaching or writing, she’s probably wearing vintage, sipping strong coffee, or explaining (very convincingly) why Elvis still matters.


Because healing is serious—but your brand doesn’t have to be boring.


Ready to turn your truth into a brand that speaks volumes?

She’s your woman.


When you’re in a room with two women, one of them has endured or is enduring violence.
Will you walk away — or will you be her lifeline?

What early readers are saying...

This book was a powerful read—captivating, inspiring, and emotionally gripping. It pulled me in from the very first page and kept me on the edge of my seat, always wanting more. A beautifully written journey of strength, truth, and transformation.

Burnt Letters is a heartfelt look at one woman's struggle and journey with abusive relationships and the toxicity that comes with them. It is a poignant journey that will make you pause and think about your own relationships, past and present. It is a must-read for anyone who feels alone and knows why it's not easy to "just walk away." Survivors of abusive relationships will nod their heads in understanding at the journey. This book is not for the faint of heart, as it touches on subtopics and red flags with pinpoint precision. Highly recommend this book for anyone who has suffered through, is currently in, or knows someone who is struggling with abusive and toxic relationships.

Unwritten is the next chapter for every woman who survived—but still feels lost in the aftermath. This isn't just a memoir. It's a reclamation. It's yours.


Unwritten (Possible title) is the raw, redemptive continuation of Burnt Letters.

With poetic honesty and clinical insight, she unpacks what it means to reclaim your voice not just once—but again and again.


This book is for the woman who’s still holding her breath, still doubting her worth, still wondering if she’s “too much.” Unwritten reminds her: she was never lost—just buried. And it’s time to rise.
