About the Book:
We’re each walking our own journey, and sometimes it's a hard one: a divorce, a career change, grief, or a major life transition. These chapters of our lives can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed thinking, “How did I end up here?” Most often, the answers we tell ourselves make us feel either stuck on the path or stuck in shame. We are uncomfortable with the discomfort that life inevitably presents.
But another possibility is that we allow this question to spark curiosity that inspires and invites us to keep going, step by step, until we arrive, boldly on the other side of our journey. WISDOM OF THE PATH: The Beautiful and Bumpy Ride to Healing and Trusting Our Inner Guide is a roadmap to self-healing and tapping into our inner wisdom when we need it most, from mental wellness advocate, self-healing educator, and author of The Sugar Jar Yasmine Cheyenne.
WISDOM OF THE PATH helps you:
• Have more patience with yourself during struggles• Gather the lessons and wisdom of your past to courageously face new untraveled roads ahead• Stand in your power and create the future you desire• Embrace that each journey—good and bad— has informed your core wisdom
WISDOM OF THE PATH weaves stories of grief, heartbreak, joy, and overcoming that invite you to gather the wisdom you’ve collected throughout your life and use it for your path ahead. Anchored in four guideposts: base camp, intent, walk the talk, and lessons learned, this soulful and warm storytelling guide encourages us to embrace the bumpy roads of our lives with knowledge and knowing that we’re moving forward.
