Reflections From The Fire

Every crucible experience offers insights if only we take the time to reflect meaningfully. This book chronicles a young woman's journey to discovering her core values through the storied lens of being an author, entrepreneur, and flourishing human. The book is broken into 3 sections and at the end of each section is a reflection which allows the reader to enter in to their own experience with the stories that were shared. The pace of the read is easy follow and connect with and the length of the book is roughly 60 pages. "Reading these beautiful, heart-wrenching narratives of perseverance—underpinned by the remarkable apotheosis of self-determination from a little girl who knew her worth despite the world—helps us all to affirm our own singular humanity and intrinsic value. The grace, resiliency, and self-compassion rooted in these stories are sources of strength for those of us seeking to honor our whole selves. Thank you, Whitney, for sharing your light and for helping us to find our own fence posts." -Whitney Blackburn, Director of Marketing, Optus Inc. "One defining strength of the book is the brutal honesty and openness within the author's story that is rarely seen. Some of the stories seem so raw and fresh, you can feel the anger and betrayal yourself as you read them. Leaving you with an awareness that even though these are not your stories, we each have our own fires that have burned or either need to be set ablaze, so that beauty can come from the ashes." - Alyssa Edens, Assistant Vice President, St.Bernards Healthcare "The story unfolds from childhood into adolescence and ultimately in adulthood (both professionally and life). The depth of experience, insights, and strength to overcome all that life can throw at you is a must read for any age (male or female). Not only does this book offer a glimpse into the spirit of a developing woman but it also offers suggestions on how to reframe your experience, learn from it, create boundaries, and set a course to being you."
