Tami
McCandlish is the author of Flying Grounded, a
research-backed memoir about how she spiritually overcame
female bullying (aka relational aggression or covert
bullying). Tami has been on all sides of relational
aggression, but it was her role as a victim that led her to
understand just how hurtful this behavior can be. It's
Tami's purpose to lead females to a spiritual avenue that
can help them cope with similar situations and find the
self-love and forgiveness needed to lift each other up
instead of drag each other down with rumors, dirty looks,
backstabbing, betrayals, etc. Tami is also the founder and
president of The Triumph Organization, a nonprofit dedicated
to dealing with relational aggression through awareness,
education, and tools that promote healthy communication and
competition among girls and women.

As a teenager, Tami McCandlish loved life. She was an honor-roll student, a star athlete, and was
happy, outgoing, and confident. But those blissful days were
cut short when the highly destructive strategies of an
all-girl alliance sent her emotional well-being and
stability into a downward spiral.
As a result of the abuse by her peers, McCandlish found
herself becoming a reactive aggressor, a characterization
that further ostracized her from her classmates, friends,
and community and left her pleading to God that He would end
her life. Not until her adult years did she connect with the
power of Jesus Christ and overcome the many wounds of her
past.
Tami McCandlish’s Flying Grounded illustrates the complex
problems and secret suffering felt by many girls and women.
Through her extensively chronicled experiences, McCandlish
successfully demonstrates the importance of helping young
girls and women find the validation they need to cope with
bullying. She also challenges you to evaluate your
relational experiences, raise your standards of compassion,
and explore your faith.
Touching upon a little-known topic, Flying Grounded offers
hope and inspiration for those who suffer from female
bullying.
