He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- The book’s lead author is Colleen Avis, an integrative life coach, mindfulness mentor and yoga guide, who kicks off the book by sharing her story of coming to grips with a childhood in which her father abandoned her, leaving her family destitute and her mother to resort to feeding the family by making Avis dumpster dive to supplement food pantry visits.
- There are also chapters on finding light in the darkness of trauma, healing through stretching and self-massage, taking a walk to find your soul and making the switch to a plant-based diet.
- Laura DiFranco, Brave Healer Productions publisher and CEO, says, “The most important thing to keep in mind is that passionate, talented, wise experts come together in this book to offer their authentic stories and holistic practices so that you may enjoy a moment of learning, growth, perspective, and possibly life-changing strategy.
