From near bankruptcy to creating her own multimillion-dollar business, an entrepreneur's inspirational journey of listening to her soul's voice calling for her to rise.

Raw and richly authentic in its ups and downs, fitness entrepreneur Danette May's deeply personal memoir is a clear calling to unlock the power we each possess deep within our souls. After the tragic loss of her son and a marriage that ended in divorce and near-bankruptcy, May found herself questioning all that she had been and all that she thought she could be. But even through the shambles, she began to hear a voice inside telling her it was time.
May never predicted that her journey would take her to a world bikini competition, to a sacred healer in Costa Rica, or through a re-examination of who and what home was. And she definitely didn't know it would lead to establishing her own international business, touching the lives of millions of people around the world. Yet it was her soul's calling that led her there.
By embracing her own radical truth, May was able to unearth the self-love and forgiveness she needed to connect with her greatest self. And with an accepting and forgiving embrace, she calls for you to rise to be the you that you are meant to be.

She has handled loss, trauma, and hardship with incredible grace and created a life beyond her wildest dreams. Danette will inspire you to rise up, heal old wounds, and live with radical authenticity and freedom!”
