Such a great read! We all have our personal stories and experiences deep inside and this book reminds us that we are not the only ones that go through hard times and can come out the other side stronger and wiser. Very inspiring and uplifting.

Fantastic book, the women’s stories are so moving and incredibly inspirational. This book is an absolutely must read.

I am just over half-way through this book and want to say I definitely recommend it. Nowadays, we are very able to filter the image of ourselves that we present to the world. On social media we can choose to display only the good things that happen to us, or that we are doing, painting a picture of our lives being fun, positive and interesting. Indeed, in a society which places so much importance on being popular, we often feel under pressure to paint as positive a picture of our lives as possible, aiming to attract people to us and keep them interested. This can lead to connections with other people feeling shallow (for how can one have a deep connection with a person that does not truly know you) and to people being ashamed, or scared, of admitting that sometimes not everything is perfect, sometimes (as we all do) they are struggling. This book is a remedy to this problem. Within its pages are the true stories of 10 women, but these are not your typical social media style stories, instead these women are neither ashamed nor scared to share with you their real-life stories – their suffering, their struggles AND how they overcame these to thrive. For anyone who is going through a difficult time, this book can be a comforting reminder that you are not alone and help inspire you to take action to turn your life around – if these women could do it, why not you? As well as inspiration, the stories in this book can also act as guidance and within them you are sure to find teachings that can help you. For example, that it is ok to ask for help on the road to achieving your dreams, that we all deserve and can find a happy loving relationship, to not let our failures drag us down, but to use them as learning opportunities, both for ourselves and to help others, that no one but ourselves should decide on our life’s purpose, to not let opportunities pass us by, and so on. You, yourself may find different lessons, I think this book has something for everyone. And if you are lucky enough to feel that everything in your life is going to plan, I think you will still enjoy reading these stories – the women they are about may be strangers to you, but as you read their stories you feel like you get to know them, empathizing with their ups and downs, rooting for them to succeed and celebrating their successes when they do. In general, this book is easy to read, the writing style is conversational, and it gets its message clearly across without being preachy. It is also easy to dip in and out of as each story can stand alone, so perfect for busy people! So what are you waiting for, grab a copy and get reading

Wow! Each of the chapters united women from all different cultures and backgrounds. Their vulnerabilities, struggles and encounters convey their perfectly imperfect lives. Not only did I empathise with them, I felt humbled and empowered by their strength. From having everything to nothing, from security to insecurity and still coming out to the world and fighting with actions not words ... truly inspiring!

This book was amazing, it left me feeling so inspired and up lifted. Absolutely loved all the individual journeys witch I related too on a deep level.
A definite must read! You will be left feeling amazing.

An excellent read. Enjoyed the book thoroughly, very relatable to some of the experiences in there.

I read the entire book in one night, as I couldn’t put it down. For someone who has gone through ups and downs in life, I could totally relate to the ten women in the book. Ordinary women who, when put in extraordinary circumstances, rose to the challenge and followed through on their vision. And I asked myself, is anyone ever ordinary? We all have the seeds of greatness within us, it is our choice whether we let them germinate. And this book inspires us to be much more than who we think we are. From failing at businesses to getting their dream businesses going, from healing from terrible illnesses, to finding their perfect love, these inspiring women show us that we can truly have it all....if we follow through with our vision. Thank you, Sandra, for bringing the stories of these incredible women to public light. I am sure it will inspire many to follow in their footsteps.

I can happily say that I know most of the wonderful women who shared their stories. Well, at least part of their life experience. As I read story after story, I realized that we all take what we need from these stories. And this is different depending on the place we're at in our life. I particularly took to heart Agnieszka's story about finding true love or rather letting love find you.

This is an amazing collection! It brings a whole array of emotions and concepts to the surface: strength, courage - it takes courage to share these stories too, vulnerability, inspiration, hope, determination... and more. Thank you for taking the time to write and gather these stories!

Just finished reading one of the chapters “Anything is possible” by Sharan Sammi and I am beyond impressed. I started with chapter #8 because it’s title picked my curiosity I must say WOW! It’s a must read for those who want to get inspired to live their lives in alignment with their dreams, passions and desires, using between other things the power of manifesting. I love this quote: “ [...] Nothing is Impossible, Anything is Possible, and you can do anything if you put your mind, body, soul, spirit, and heart into it!” [...]

This book is an inspiring read. All the women in it have overcome major obstacles in their lives and become successful in using their own recovery from traumatic experiences to coach others through similar situations. I recommend it.

Chapter 8. Anything is possible – Sharan Sammi
Oh wow! What an inspiring story! Sharan has definitely got the law of manifestation working for her. Brilliant read.

This book fell into my hands at exactly the right time. A time when I myself are talking a quantum leap in my life and getting the life I truly deserve. I read this book in one afternoon. Each and everyone of the amazing women went though true adversity, not feeling enough, tragedy, illness and abuse. There stories all hit a chord and they have gone onto rebuild themselves and gone onto inspire others. A real page turner and a must read for those inspiring to be the best version of themselves. I will go back and read the book and check out the wonderful gifts and check out the websites of these amazing women.

What a great surprise- Like Chicken Soup For The Soul!

A collection of remarkable stories for, by and about women overcoming and bouncing back from adversity... creating amazing lives. Inspiring and each story, so well and heartfully written. A pleasure.
