Soul Shift: The Weary Human’s Guide to Getting Unstuck and Reclaiming Your Path to Joy
BONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Soul Shift from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Stafford that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page.
Living in a time of isolation, instability, and information overload comes at a great cost to our happiness and well-being. As we struggle to keep up with endless demands on our time, energy, and attention, we neglect the very things that make us feel most alive. We fail to grasp what really matters to us.
In Soul Shift: The Weary Human’s Guide to Getting Unstuck and Reclaiming Your Path to Joy, New York Times bestselling author and celebrated motivational speaker Rachel Macy Stafford guides us on a journey to remember and reconnect with what truly delights and fulfills our hearts. Throughout this shame-free, hope-filled guide, you’ll follow the guidance of your soul through eight key areas of discovery—self-worth, forgiveness, authenticity, and more. As you gain valuable awareness, you’ll be able to shift how you respond to life’s challenges, replacing depleting habits with growing presence and healing joy.
Stafford is the author of several bestselling books, including Hands Free Mama: A Guide to Putting Down the Phone, Burning the To-Do List, and Letting Go of Perfection to Grasp What Really Matters!; Only Love Today: Reminders to Breathe More, Stress Less, and Choose Love; and Live Love Now: Relieve the Pressure and Find Real Connection with Our Kids. She is a certified special education teacher whose personal strategies are universal invitations to embrace life with urgency and cultivate connection despite the distractions of our culture. Her blog is a source of inspiration to millions.
Stafford will be in conversation with Shefali Tsabary, Ph.D. (FAN ’16), a clinical psychologist expert in family dynamics and personal development and a three-time New York Times bestselling author. Her latest book is The Parenting Map: Step-by-Step Solutions to Consciously Create the Ultimate Parent-Child Relationship.
This event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
