Overview

There is something deeply powerful about sharing inspirational stories of personal transformation. In this autobiographical teaching memoir, the reader is given a guided tour into the mind, heart, and soul of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Beginning with a collection of touching childhood vignettes, traumatic life experiences, and prophetic dreams, the author reveals her personal healing journey of self-discovery, her goal to become a ""midwife of the soul,"" and her ultimate mission to inspire readers to discover what is possible in their own lives. Each vignette is followed by a prescriptive narrative, or reflection, intended to teach the reader how to recognize traumatic experiences as a gateway to spiritual awakening. Just as a midwife identifies the signs of impending birth and guides the mother to a safe delivery, a ""midwife of the soul"" identifies the signs and symptoms of spiritual birth hidden within life's most difficult challenges. This teaching memoir will encourage the reader to acknowledge their own inner divinity as the highest priority and purpose in life, recognize the soul's cry to be spiritually birthed and nurtured, and to develop the qualities needed to become a midwife of their own sacred soul. -- ""What we have here is not just a memoir but also precious teachings for readers who are struggling to find meaning in their lives. Perhaps, this is the reason why reading this book can be a very moving experience for everyone, opening up possibilities for us to return to our roots, reconnect with Mother Nature and to engage in traditions of healing by drawing from her wisdom."" - Feathered Quill ""This blend of nuts-and-bolts advice backed by a memoir's inspirational, revealing stories of trauma, healing, choice, and perception helps cement the connections between life experience, ideals, and evolving spirituality and philosophical outlook."" - Midwest Book Review ""Replete with important insights about trauma and positive change, Midwife of the Soul is highly recommended for those who enjoy personal life stories and deeper inspections of life purpose and change."" - Donovan's Bookshelf ""Friedman blends personal storytelling with therapeutic insight to create a memoir that will serve as a healing companion for highly sensitive persons (HSPs) and those supporting them.
