Journey of the Empowered Heart: A Pathway Through Suffering and into Compassion, Confidence and Healing

Although you may struggle with self-judgment and shame, and think of yourself as broken and flawed, that's not who you are. Who you are is the pure, whole, and powerful being within. However, because you've likely been through a lot of painful trauma and learned to avoid thinking about it or feeling it, you may have lost track of your wounds and yourself along the way.\nOn the Journey of the Empowered Heart, we'll take a clear, safe path inward to understand why you're struggling. As very specific events and occurrences caused you to end up in a place of suffering, the cycle of the empowered heart doesn’t just offer solutions for how to heal, it also offers deep awareness of why the healing is needed.\nThen, through easy and approachable steps, we'll depart the realms of suffering and work towards healing the pain.
For that reason, this 400+ page book isn’t just a“5 easy steps” process. It’s more like a 14-stage circular odyssey.\nBy awakening your inner strength, and being more loving and compassionate with yourself, you’ll go from feeling lost and insecure to being united with your true self––present, confident, and empowered in your heart.
Along the way, there will be extra treasures of awareness to add to your satchel of wisdom, such as:
• How insecurity derives from not feeling safe
• What emotional hunger is
• Why we feel jealousy and envy
• Why crying might be the healthiest thing we can do for ourselves
• How to regulate our relationship with social media
• Why “feeling bad” isn’t healthy
• How to be better friends to ourselves
• Why forgiveness is so beneficial
• What true confidence is
• The difference between false power and true power• • •
“At a time when the world seems hellbent on hate and division, The Journey of the Empowered Heart is a perfectly timed plea for compassion for ourselves and others—even those we disagree with. It’s beautifully written, lucid, challenging, insightful, profound and mature, and it has the power to speak to both the individual and society as a whole.
If, like me, you’re exhausted by the binary, rage-driven cycles of politics, social media, materialism and the rest, then Katie’s book is the chicken soup (or veggie/vegan alternative) your soul needs.”
