About the author

My previous book, "Your Travel Bucket List: The Ultimate Guide to Enrich Your Life with Great Adventures and Unforgettable Memories", what a self help book to enrich your life through travel planning.

This book is derived from my very successful workshops, called "Travel Talks". I facilitate these for various businesses and their clients. In particular with Financial Planners, as putting together a travel portfolio goes well with having a financial plan for your future. Your most valuable asset is your leisure time!

I am also very comfortable on camera and plan to do as much press and on camera interviews as possible. I have been an actress since a child and have professionally worked for producers to teach in their online corporate training videos for sale.

I'm building several partnerships with established brands. Along with the book launch, I have designed and am co-facilitating several workshops, online programs and retreats. We will be making the book available to all members. My goal is to sell the book in every self development institute, luxury spa and wellness resort, bookstore and online and offering the products through my partners stores, clubs and on my website.
Successful workshops have included:
Work/Life Balance for Gen X Women Leaders
Elevate: Fulfillment for Women in Transition
Bold Feminine & Free (Success without Burnout)

Synopsis

1. The Problem: Navigating Midlife Transitions Without a Roadmap
For individuals aged 40-60, midlife often presents a unique set of challenges, including career shifts, relationship changes, Empty Nesting, and Retirement. According to research published in The Journal of Psychology and Aging, these transitions are frequently accompanied by a loss of purpose and direction, leading to what some describe as a "midlife crisis." Traditional self-help books either focus on broad, generalized advice or delve into esoteric practices that may not resonate with practical, goal-oriented readers. Additionally, many people in this age group have invested years in building their careers and raising families, leaving little time to prepare for or reflect on the inevitable life changes that come with this phase. As a result, they struggle with uncertainty, fear, and a sense of stagnation. The need for a concise, practical guide that provides clarity and actionable strategies tailored to the midlife experience has never been greater.

2. The Solution: Redefine Your Future
Redefine Your Future: Clarity and Reinvention Through Life Transitions offers a practical, uplifting, and concise framework for those navigating the uncertainties of midlife. The book integrates psychological insights, philosophical principles, and life coaching techniques, providing a roadmap to confidently approach life transitions and create a fulfilling, purpose-driven future. Using the Hero’s Journey framework, the book guides readers through key phases of reinvention, ensuring that they build clarity and momentum. Key takeaways include:

  • Personal Inventory Exercise: Assess your current life situation objectively to identify areas needing change and areas of fulfillment.
  • Identity Exploration Map: Uncover passions and interests beyond traditional roles, helping you rediscover and reenergize your sense of self.
  • Future Vision Blueprint: Design a clear, values-aligned vision for your future and create actionable steps to pursue it.
  • Resilience and Mindset Techniques: Build the mental tools necessary to overcome obstacles and transform fear into proactive steps.
  • Connection and Community Engagement: Learn how to build a supportive network that aligns with your evolving interests and goals.

This method provides readers with both a structured approach and the flexibility to customize their own reinvention path, ensuring relevance and personal resonance.


3. Why I’m the One to Write It:
As a seasoned Mastermind and Support Group Facilitator, Retreat Coach,  Lifestyle Expert, and a graduate of New York University with a background in Drama Therapy and Psychology, I bring a unique combination of expertise and real-world experience to Redefine Your Future. My professional journey includes founding workshops and retreats designed specifically for midlife individuals seeking clarity, balance, and fulfillment. Through my programs, I have helped numerous clients successfully navigate life transitions, embrace new opportunities, and achieve their personal and professional goals with confidence. My work with high-level mastermind groups and support group facilitation has given me insight into the specific challenges and needs of midlife individuals, allowing me to tailor my methodology to provide practical, effective, and inspiring solutions. This book is a culmination of years of hands-on experience and research, designed to empower others to redefine their future with clarity and purpose.

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
