The thrills and spills of brutal honesty will keep you tearing through the pages to see what comes next with just enough pauses along the way to think about what it all means to you. I often bypass the book ‘exercises’, but this time actually stopped to consider the questions in a personal, meaningful way. A good reminder that sometimes it’s not ‘the answers’ we seek, but better questions… this book is chock full of the BEST questions to get you thinking differently and bending the curve of your mind. A gift that keeps on giving!
Best book I have read in over 10+ years. It took me less than 48 hours….YES, it’s THAT good!! Shelley tells this raw story of her journey in such a tender and artful way. I laughed (that gut wrenching kind), I cried…and most of all, I learned so damn much. The teachings and wisdom shared on her journey are compelling and actionable for all of us. For anyone searching to come home to your soul, I highly recommend this book. It will change your life in an absolutely beautiful way.
Because even if you weren’t thinking about it… You might want to change your life after you read this book! Shelley’s raw and real account of her life, is such an inspiring trampoline to taking the leap.

With her raw, unfiltered, and engaging narrative, Shelley shares her Soulbbatical journey in an authentic, inspiring and relatable way. This book has helped me so much as I go through my own soulbbatical journey – it provides great insights on purpose, courage, and living a more fulfilling life. Soulbbatical provides a blueprint, but you get to decide how to apply those principles to your own life and experiences.
Shelley takes the reader on a truly personal journey that is approachable and relatable. Once you are pulled in to the story, you will learn so many great life lessons that will inspire you on your own personal journey to create the life you want. By the time I finished the book, I was ready to plan my own soulbbatical!
So many insights and thought provocation! Plus a cannot-put-it-down storyline that kept me engaged from the first page. Have already sent to several friends/colleagues. |
