Have you ever wished you could send life lessons back in time to your younger self? Debbie Frakes has. In the Journey to CALM , Debbie outlines 10 essential tools to discover and cultivate the abiding sense of peace that so many of us are seeking. Then, she offers these tools to a younger version of herself, returning to the exact moment when she needed each tool the most. In her career and all throughout her life, Debbie has been passionate about personal growth: How to become the best version of herself. After reading more than 500 books on everything from positive thinking to quantum manifestation, working with a personal coach and journeying through recovery, she began compiling the wisdom she learned along the way. Though the circumstances of our lives differ, nearly all of us struggle with common patterns, beliefs and behaviors that keep us from leading the life we deserve. The 10 tools in this book provide a new perspective from which to view these universal challenges, making space for deep personal transformation. Moving through four phases of growth--Consciousness, Action, Letting Go and Maintenance (CALM)--we learn to confront our biggest questions of self-worth, purpose and belonging. The result is an empathetic and wise companion for the hardest, best moments of our lives. Debbie Frakes started off as an award-winning reporter and went on to become a communications executive with more than 25 years of experience in Fortune 500 companies. She lives outside of Detroit, Michigan, with her husband.
