A self help book that works!
At 73 I have quite a library of self-help books but this one really works! Jennifer Carey’s book is packed with practical steps to help us move out of “our stories” that tend to sabotage our growth. What is refreshing is that she takes us through her own “very human” journey which, in itself, encourages us to join her in reaching our dreams. Yes I am her “cousin-in- law” but I really didn’t meet her until this year at her wonderful WOW retreat and as an old woman I too had numerous “break through” moments! Since not every one CAN make it to a retreat this book is a must! It will take you,step by step, through your own “illumination”…with compassion and patience. Keep a pen handy, you’ll be glad you did! It was an easy but extremely impactful read. You are worth it!

Words from the Author
My hope and mission is that as a result of reading this book, readers will become more aware of their own limiting beliefs and stories that are keeping them from living out their fullest potential in all aspects of their lives, including relationships. I believe that the work we can invest in bringing these stories into light and transforming them can and will serve as an anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, and suicide prevention tool.
