The Fearless
Path:
A Radical Awakening to Emotional Healing and
Inner Peace
1.
What really inspired
you to write your book, to force you from taking an idea or experience and
conveying it into a book? I have been working with clients for about 20 years.
During that time I began to notice similar issues that were keeping people from
true happiness and healing. Mainly, they were attempting to get rid of their
pain by ignoring it, “letting go” or staying angry. After several years of
research and seeing the positive effect that my method of healing was having on
clients I decided it was time to reach a larger audience and try to help as
many people as I could.
2.
What is it about and
whom do you believe is your targeted reader? The Fearless Path is about having
the courage to acknowledge and accept the ways in which we suffer and learn how
to process our real feelings to find healing. The target audience is anyone who
is emotionally mature enough to deal with their wellness or for those that have
tried, but are still strangled by their suffering.
3.
What do you hope will
be the everlasting thoughts for readers who finish your book? What should
remain with them long after putting it down? My hope is that the reader not
only becomes inspired and empowered to look at their life differently, but
brave enough to share their authentic self and purpose with others. The more
truthful and expressive we become, the more connection with have within our
personal lives and with others in the world. Then we don’t feel separate or
disconnected, and the anxiety and fear lessons.
4.
What advice or words
of wisdom do you have for fellow writers? Just write. It sounds trite and
corny, but you can always change words and structure and content (until it’s
published that is!) but you need to get the energy moving and the words flowing
onto the page in order to have anything to work with. I also gave myself a five
minute prep time before sitting down to write to do a meditation or be in quiet
and listen. It helps a lot.
5.
What trends in the
book world do you see and where do you think the book publishing industry is
heading? I have an inclination that the publishing world is going to continue
to see a slight comeback, be it digital or hard copy. As a commuter around NYC,
I am encouraged daily to see the vast amount of knowledge-hungry people with
their heads in a reader or paper product. I don’t think there will ever be a
time of saturation, although topic matter needs to continue to evolve and vary.
6.
What great challenges
did you have in writing your book? Writing! I don’t feel like a natural writer.
Storytelling and on-camera media I am comfortable with, but writing is a
challenge. I’m glad I had the deadline from a publisher, otherwise I may not be
writing these words right now!
7.
If people can only buy
one book this month, why should it be yours? What an intense question! I
believe the people that are meant to read my book will find it and will be
compelled to purchase. There are not only stories in the book, but compelling
information about our energy system and overall wellness that I think is
necessary for anyone on the self-care journey to understand. It’s a practical
book, easy to understand and useful no matter the pain or suffering one is
enduring. Addiction, weight issues, heartache, anxiety, sexual assault or
behavioral issues…the information is applicable and relatable.
