When great tragedy strikes, one has two choices: fall into the depths of despair to never fully recover or face it head-on, feel its pain, and eventually find a way to build a new life in the aftermath. In this intriguing self-help memoir, the author uses the techniques developed in her Mysterial Woman workshops to show readers how she overcame the painful emotions that come with a life-altering event to rebuild her life from the ashes. A follow-up to her previous book, The Way of the Mysterial Woman, this one begins by detailing Anderson’s journey before, during, and after her life is unalterably changed by tragedy. She then relates her path of working through unimaginable grief with the eight Meta-Capacities of a Mysterial Woman, which she developed to help other women overcome obstacles. The final section follows her healing journey in an exploration of her steps to transformation.
Anderson writes in an honest, conversational narrative of her experiences with tragedy and recovery. The work is inspiring as it shares the author's personal journey and application of the methods which evolve from her life’s work helping other women discover their own potential to overcome trauma through self-exploration. The author shares how she applies the steps of the Mysterial Woman to her own situation with openness and candor. It is a fascinating story of overcoming despair and discovering her true essence in order to build a new life and continue her calling to help other women. The author’s willingness to share with others the difficulties of her life and her struggle to face and triumph over tragedy offers encouragement that recovery from trauma is possible when one is given the tools needed to “make your path by walking.” Gut-wrenching and inspirational, Anderson’s book motivates readers to apply these methods to their own lives.
