About the author
Dawn Kohler
10 books7 followers My last day at ICON, an award-winning computer company I started shortly after college, was not about heroics, a pinnacle of success, or the kind of buyout wished for by entrepreneurs. It didn’t come by way of illness, accident, or dismissal – but by sheer self-mutiny. The self I was born to be, decided to hijack the one I had created.
To help me move through my spontaneous revolt, also known as a spiritual awakening, I had to learn how to let go of a few things (like almost everything), trust the voice in my head that was trying to help me evolve, and reclaim the piece of me I feared was not all that valuable.
Once I released myself from what was no longer true, (and in most cases never was,) major shifts began to happen in my life. I embraced a calling to become a writer, deepened my love and compassion for my family and friends, and found the gift of insight which led me to start Kohler and Company an executive coaching firm focused on helping leaders manage change.
Twenty-five years later, I have raised three children and written three books, including The Messages, a Memoir, and an award-winning first novel, The Invitation, a Weekend with Emma. I have also been fortunate to coach many of the most influential leaders in Entertainment at such companies as NBCUniversal, Lionsgate, DreamWorks, Disney, Amazon, Searchlight films and Sony Pictures. And I serve on the Board of Step-Up, a non-profit mentoring organization supporting teens in low-income areas.

Dawn Kholer sent me a complimentary pdf copy, in exchange for an honest review.
I read her book within two days, which is a good indication of how much I wanted to get to the next page turner, and the interesting revelations.
The spiritual messages is not new, as people around the world receive the same messages, but it adds to the authenticity and truthfulness of the message.
She shares painful recollections from her childhood, and how she had to overcome it via therapy, and changes in her own life. While she and her husband had their own business, and three children who wanted attention. She was lucky that she could just focus on herself while her husband gave her the space to heal. Also, it shows the resilience of children, how they understood, and grew up to healthy adults with whom she kept a close relationship. She could heal to be the best mother possible! It is one of the biggest messages from this book; we need to address the past to be able to be fully available in our relationships.
It is not always easy addressing the past, especially if the past shows that the parental figures in your life let you down, and committed the ultimate horror. I admire the strength and resilience being shown. Thank you for sharing, Dawn! You rock!
