Are you tired of listening to self-transformation stories that only show you the before and after but not what actually happens during?

Yeah, me, too.

Look no further...(in a cheesy marketing voice).

My goal of sharing this book and this story is to show you what happens in the “transformation” part of the “before and after” story as authentically to myself as possible, because that’s what it’s all really about, isn’t it? Being you, becoming you?

That’s what all these self-help books are saying, anyways.

I hope that by sharing my journey of becoming more aware and shifting my mindset and perspective on life, it will help you take a look at yourself and be inspired to do the same.

I share things I wish I knew along the way and challenges I experienced....

The good, bad, and ugly (a.k.a. questioning my own sanity).

I also include personal 100 percent raw “diary entries” that are an emotional ride, that’s for sure.

So for those bullet-point people out there:

• This book is about self-realization/actualization/development and mindset/perception awareness.
• Personal journey showing the before-during-after of the transformation process, using butterfly motif.
• Breaking it down from:
• Egg - your life right now, or before “shit goes down”.
• Larva - shit went down, and now what? You are in the “darkness”
• Caterpillar - tools to get through and pillars to who you are. Becoming aware.
• Cocoon - working on yourself, and actively making a change. Doing the “nasty work!”
• Shed - breaking through to the “other side”, “the light”.
• Butterfly - what you become. The aftermath of all your hard work.
• Writing style: fun, direct, concise. There are poems and insightful rambles.
• Helps you become more aware of your mindset/perspective and the impact it has on your inner/external world, and what to do about it.
• Gives you insights or “puzzle pieces” to your experiences and how to apply them.
• Covers: healing, becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable, acceptance, achieving goals, “finding yourself”, and really just falling in love with the process and experience of life all over again. Seeing the light within the dark.

I am so excited and grateful to be able to share this story with you!
