The Life That Woke Me Up Was My Own: A Memoir

By: Nancy Swisher

Narrated by: Nancy Swisher

What can you do when you can't speak your truth? Painful experiences, loss, and trauma can block your ability to share your true self with others, especially when those experiences happen in childhood. They are often buried deeply and impact relationships, even for the most spiritually evolved.

The Life That Woke Me Up Was My Own is a triumphant literary memoir from writer and artist Nancy Swisher. It tells the story of a woman who remembers a betrayal from her past and traces the way it limited her life until she healed. You will find yourself growing stronger and more courageous as you enjoy this unique blend of beautiful language and the transformational wisdom of deep emotional and spiritual healing.

When you listen to this book, you will not only know Nancy's compelling story, but you'll also gain tools to empower your own voice by:

• Attending to your silences and reconnecting to your truths
• Mastering the keys to release limiting stories
• Healing from loss and trauma
• Engaging with your journey of transformation
• Using the gifts of nature to go deeply into your own heart

Find your voice with this memoir

I have the paper/printed copy of this book but wanted to revisit it by listening to it read by the author.

I love listening to the author’s voice, she is so calming.

Each word is like a delicious bite of food to be savored slowly and consciously so not to lose any of its rich essence without appreciation
