Synopsis

In Walk To The Beat Of Your Own Rhythm: How to get unstuck from repeated patterns and lead an empowering life Andrea experiences a mid-life crisis, as she realizes that she’s been trying to live up to other people’s expectations.

Resigning from her stable job as a Senior Desktop Publisher in the government, she has big dreams of living a simpler life in Tuscany, Italy. But when her plans fall through, Andrea questions the reason she feels stuck.

Until she meets Tomas, who she believes is the soul mate she’s long searched for. Except Andrea’s romanticized version of a soul mate is soon shattered, Tomas is just like the other men she dated—emotionally unavailable.

Yet she remains in the relationship, hoping that things will change if she simply shifts her mindset to what she wants, instead of what she doesn’t.

The longer she stays, the more Andrea struggles to cope with the relationship filled with drama, problems and emotional turmoil.

Even more confusing Tomas awakens past-life memories. Andrea asks God for answers to why the relationship is so like her dysfunctional upbringing and wants to know what these past-life memories have to do with anything!

After the relationship ends dramatically, Andrea is on a mission to stop repeating the same old pattern.

She digs deep in her Empowerment Coaching program and though she gains clarity, after she graduates and her business doesn’t take off as she expected, Andrea questions if she is on the right path.

Then she encounters a Spiritual Coach at a Celtic Fair, who suggests to Andrea study the Akashic Records—also known as “The Book of Life” in the Bible.

When she opens her Akashic Records Andrea is shocked by what she uncovers. Not only does she carry fears of being persecuted for her beliefs from a past life into this lifetime, she also inherited fears from her parents and ancestors that are hindering her paths progress.

Relying on her strength, courage and stamina to endure the pain, Andrea heals the past—it is not an overnight process. As Andrea releases her fears, her outer world shifts from drama to peace.

She no longer experiences bipolar symptoms and her fibromyalgia dissolves. She also stops binge eating as a coping mechanism and when Andrea meets Anthony, she realizes that her thoughts and emotions are finally aligned.

Andrea is in her first healthy relationship with a man and though she is happy and the relationship is what she always wanted—healthy, loving and fulfilling, she is still not where she wants to be in living the life she envisioned.

Following her heart Andrea leaves everything behind to travel on a spiritual pilgrimage to England. When she visits sacred sites where she had a successful past-life as a priestess, Andrea finds the missing piece of the puzzle she needed for her journey.

After six-weeks, she returns to Ottawa anticipating that her wellness coaching business will take off and when it doesn’t, Andrea once again finds herself full circle, feeling stuck!

She considers giving up, but she is compelled to persevere. With strength and determination, plus Anthony’s support, Andrea moves forward and begins to build a solid foundation.

The above books are also in the genre of memoir and cover the subjects of self-empowerment, spirituality, romance and travel. Though the books are inspirational, the author’s don’t empower the readers with concrete techniques to commit to their growth by making their self-care a priority on a daily basis.

Walk To The Beat Of Your Own Rhythm: How to get unstuck from repeated patterns and lead an empowering life emphasizes that it’s a journey in remembering who we are—powerful beings capable of creating a life that is right for us instead of the life we believe we “should” live.

The challenge that most people have is aligning their thoughts with their emotions. They believe that the car, the house, the money, the career etc. will make them feel worthy.

But it’s not true!

I shine light on how these fears have been inherited from our parents, our past lives and ancestors that hinder our path.  I also explain the reason we sabotage our own efforts and are unable to sustain success even though we might say we want a successful career, relationship etc.

The reader is not only inspired by my journey in overcoming my obstacles, they are empowered to take action, one step at a time allowing the mysteries to unfold. I include examples of my human error and zero in on how I walk myself up to empowerment.

I also provide summaries of what I learned through experience and provide simple, but effective techniques to assist the reader in overcoming their fears and reclaiming their power, so that they can live the prosperous life they want.
