All began with a diary next to my pillow in the hilly swiss countryside. When a friend remarked ‘you should write a book, because many would be inspired by your life’s transformation’, and a writer’s workshop was offered online by Hayhouse, I thought: Why not serve my friends with my story?.

“As a small child, I was a sentient being. Being told I was overly

sensitive—not to feel what I was feeling—hurt me to the core. By

the age of thirty-eight, I had two little daughters, and I was totally

exhausted.

I was constantly looking for wisdom. I sought it in my training

as an attorney; my tireless diligence, effort, and perfectionism; sessions

on management skills and personal development; my practice of

traditional Chinese medicine; energetic work; coaching; and daily

meditation. But every morning, I woke up to live unconsciously

again and again.

I truly was ready to invest myself entirely into my own growth,

but still there was a gap. I felt invisible and not appreciated by my

partners or my job. I felt alone with or without a partner, and no

partner I had was engaging in building a common life.“
