Description
We are all instilled with principles, passed down through generations, that guide our feelings and behaviors. Women often feel immense pressure to live up to preconceived standards when taking on the roles of wife, partner or mother. The drive to meet expectations can lead to a sense of lost individuality and feelings of isolation and invisibility. This book serves as a guide through the "muse process," which encourages women to explore their innate feminine power to reach their full potential and create a happier, healthier life.
Reviews / Votes
"A toolkit for women who want to own their intrinsic power while accessing their creativity in order to know and live their life purpose. A five-step process is given.... The book walks you through the five steps while providing plenty of exercises and stories that illustrate and support each step. It's easy to see that Cox has not only lived these processes herself but that she has guided many others through them as well."-New Spirit Journal.More details
