Going Beyond the Programming of Your Life

This collaboration takes you on a journey to understand all beliefs are programmed by society, family, school, relationships, religion and exposure to everyday life.
>Within these pages, you witness the courage of thirteen contributors as you read stories of recovery, inner reflection and growth. Accounts of their shadow work, which has brought them into a higher understanding of what their TRUE beliefs are, inspire you to move out of what others have told you to believe. Each writer has come through their dark night of the soul in various ways.

There is a story for everyone whether it's about defiance, fear, peacefulness, unease, learning personal worth and value, sharing vulnerability or leaning into healing; even when it seems what you are going through is more than you can handle.
You will gain insight and understanding of how others not only recovered but are now flourishing after abuse, illness and the rollercoaster journey of first liking, then truly loving self. We share enlightenment, steering you to discern how lessons come and the surprising forms in which teachers and guides appear, often disguised, ultimately for our highest good. Through forgiveness, compassion, seeing the unseen, acknowledging desires to change programmed beliefs, we are thriving while continuing to find and shed layer upon layer of expectations.
>This book will change your life as it has changed the lives of everyone involved in the project. You might find yourself getting uncomfortable because you relate to what is on the page. Don't hide from the pain, allow it to guide you to healing and recovery. You must first acknowledge the pain and question what belief system is working in you. Then decide what to continue believing and thinking and how, when and where to move to something new and more true to YOU.

Take the step, you deserve it!
