Trail to My True Self: My Journey to Self-Love and Happiness

When Karen Eller’s husband had a second heart attack before age fifty-three, she realized something was still amiss in her own life. Though she had spent decades on her personal growth and had made significant progress on heightening her self-love and happiness, something was still off. From years of soul searching, she already knew that a trauma could be used to find deeper meaning and illuminate an invaluable lesson. Her husband’s heart attack triggered her to ask some honest questions about herself, her marriage, and her daily way of life. In Trail to My True Self, Karen tells her story of how she discovered her issue-while hiking in the Grand Canyon-of lack of self-love and self-worth. She explains its origins, the connection to her father’s early death, and the all-pervasive effects it had in her life. From denying her true self, altering her actions and words with the purpose of receiving validation from others, to laying-in-fetal-position depression. She discloses the secrets of her personal journey in an uplifting and entertaining way while remaining candid and earnest. She realizes the path to self-love, being her true self, and being joyful is a process consciously undertaken every day, which also includes a purpose beyond herself. Karen includes the practices which she has used to love herself more fully, find fulfillment, and be her true self in hopes that the reader may also benefit from her experiences. She hopes that her story will help you be who you were born to be-your true self.
