How To Find Yourself & Claim What's Yours takes a look inside the mind of a writer who for many years, was trapped in a world where she has lost her voice and passion for writing that gradually eroded her exuberance for life. Like many of us, the author searched relentlessly for her ideal career, only with short-lived moments of fulfillment and euphoria. Within these 12 chapters of her memoir; she bares her soul as she struggled with navigating work, processing that her parents were now aging before her eyes, keeping her dream alive and conforming to a world that wasn't hers. She retells the story over a 6-year period, how she overcame overwhelming feelings of crippling trepidation, doubt, disappointment and grief, finally leading to a path that she was meant to traverse to get to a life we all secretly and silently crave. To wake up most days with a spring in her step, a smile on her face and an abundant and boundless joy simply by making people happy and seeing their transformation and motivation. This book is perfect for creatives, aspiring entrepreneurs, graduates, retirees, those transitioning careers or seeking a deeper, more fulfilling and meaning life of purpose. It is a book of hope and a perfect complement to her first book (Thinking out Loud), which are both intended to prepare the reader to unleash their greatness, since the world wouldn't be the same without our individual, unique and collective contribution and expression of our gifts.
