About the author

Donna Bond

4 books
At the age of 45, I “woke up” at the top of my game. On the outside, it all looked perfect. I was working as a marketing executive for a prestigious hotel company alongside best in class people. I was making great money, living in a beautiful home and was (and still am) married to an incredible guy.

On the inside, I was exhausted, depressed, unhappy and unfulfilled. I wasn’t just out of touch with Spirit but with what was going on inside my own body. This all led to a decision which I now understand as divine intervention – enrolling myself in a master’s program in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica.

This resulted in my own personal transformation.

And ultimately in walking away from a multiple 6-figure salary where I had won the Western Regional Marketing Achievement Award with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company for the 3rd year in a row. I was a leading professional in my industry. But it was no longer “my” industry. It was no longer “my” career of choice.

Everything changed from the inside out.

Today, I am a Soul-Centered catalyst for personal transformation.

I believe when we do the work individually to trust our higher self and love our human self, the ripple effect changes the world. To this end, I serve in the role of a personal transformation consultant, Spiritual mentor, and professional life and business coach, serving hundreds of clients across the globe to experience an empowered and more loving existence in the physical world.

I’m a graduate of the University of Santa Monica where I earned a master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology with an emphasis in Consciousness, Health and Healing and carry a professional coaching certification.

My Mission is to ignite your light, revealing your original-wisdom to empower your highest self on your human adventure.

Now is the time to unleash your magnificence and embrace the crown of your original wisdom. Are you tired of being passed over, not good enough, rejected, and held back? You are a wondrous spiritual being and it’s time to set your soul free in order to become the goddess you are meant to be. Let Donna Bond be your spiritual guide on the path to wholeness and reclaim your original wisdom. Learn how to love yourself. Learn what it means to be authentic in all areas of your life. Through the tenants of spiritual psychology, you’ll transform yourself into the divine spirit girl you’re destined to be.

Original Wisdom is a compelling book all women should read. Why? Women are pulled in a million different directions and often we don’t care for ourselves with the same intensity we look after others. Instead of embracing what makes us happy, we choose to let other people be happy. Original Wisdom truly opened my eyes and heart to what matters. Donna Bond’s frankness in her writing built a bond (no pun intended) between author and reader. Each chapter is well laid out with key ideas and mental exercises to mull over. Like Marianne Williamson, Donna Bond wants to help people achieve their transcendence. I thoroughly enjoyed Original Wisdom. I learned quite a bit about spiritual psychology and myself. If you’re looking to kickstart your personal transformation, pick up Original Wisdom. Highly recommend!

To be frank, the title of this book alone, Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You by Donna Bond, is what sold me to this book. If you're keen on personal development, then this spiritual psychology book is for you.

It is worth pointing out that this book is neither a textbook nor an academic book. Reading this is like reading the memoir of the author, and she is explaining her train of thought. Mrs. Bond's skill in storytelling is impeccable for connecting the dots between the mythical story of the apples and the reasons behind her spiritual awakening.

In a world that never stops spinning, it’s hard to find time to center and realign your emotions. When it seems like things are getting rough, it’s important to take a second, breathe, and read a book like Donna Bond’s “Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You.” Bond’s book works as a superb self-help book, something that gives you insight into how to transform into the best ‘you’ there is. Bond’s book took me by surprise, considering you never realize when you need to appreciate your sense of self until someone directly teaches you how to. For that reason, Bond’s book is something I will always look back on, especially during moments you need to be uplifting.

I encourage anyone who struggles with centering their emotions, or defining who they are as a person, to read this book. It will teach you the ways to find your inner strength and love. It isn’t an easy task, and it won’t be solved in a day. But with Bond’s book, you’re able to, at the very least, navigate these roads with someone who cares about your self-love.

Donna was a high-level, successful marketing executive when she experienced a transformation: she woke up to her real nature, which has nothing to do with money, fame or power. As she writes in this book, all is One, and a human is a small part of the universal Life Energy, temporarily attached to a body and a personality.
The content resonates with everything I have practiced, and used in my work, for the past 35 years. The techniques, the language are different, but the underlying philosophy, ethics and beliefs are remarkably similar.
In fact, I have read a great many books, each unique, each inspiring, each showing a path to the same good life. This is one of them.
Because it shares the universal Truth, if you carry out the exercises with full belief in their efficacy, you will find yourself growing spiritually, and changing both your internal and external reality.

This book is a beacon of hope for anyone feeling lost, stuck, or longing for something more. Donna's journey of self-discovery and transformation is so inspiring, and her insights are a treasure trove for those seeking a more meaningful life. Her words are a love letter to herself and to anyone willing to take the leap of faith required to live in a more real way. With practical steps and practices, Donna offers readers the tools they need to transform their own lives. This personal book is a testament to the power of self-love and the courage to follow one's inner knowing. With its unique structure and authentic voice, it's a powerful reminder that a wholehearted and fulfilling life is within reach for us all. Recommended.

Wish I would’ve found this book sooner!

In this book, Donna Bond tells us how to listen to our authentic voice to make wise choices and live an inspired life. It’s so true that a lot of our beliefs are implanted within us at a very young age. Some of those beliefs we don’t even realize are not true. I can relate to Donna when she tells us that at a young age she formed the belief that she had to work really hard to prove herself to everyone and everything. But through different exercises and Sacred Truth Activations, she has been able to live a more graceful life that is filled with joy. That’s what I’m here for. I have learned so much from Donna and I’m so grateful for this book.

A lot of self help books can seem a bit tedious or too condescending even at times, but Original Wisdom makes sure to not fall in this category. This books sumps up rather neatly the keys points an individual tends to or should focus on when working on one self. I appreciate how it humanises the self acceptance journey and makes it clear, even when difficult, with some work, it’s totally worth it.

I also like how this book encourages to reflect upon past experiences and reclaim and develop new beliefs in order to continue to grow. The inclusion of self-guided experiential activities for engagement and personal healing mantras were as well of a nice touch. Overall, this book is quite fascinating and certainly can be helpful in your self development journey. Really recommend it.

“Return inward, recognize your authentic nature as the energy of Love.”

Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You will inspire you to explore your inner world with kindness and grace.

This is a must-read book for anyone ready to experience change and transformation from a place of Love. Donna’s work is generous, clear, and insightful. It will change the way you think, feel, and ultimately, your way to being in the world.

It was a wonderful experience to have had the conversation with Donna Bond in a podcast interview! Her wisdom and loving presence reflected her commitment to changing lives!

An empowering read reminding us that everything we could ever need is already within us. As someone with a similar corporate marketing background that used to be a bit shy about letting my spiritual side shine, Donna's personal stories of connecting with and expressing her true purpose were very inspiring. She touches on lots of topics that interest me, such as Joe Dispenza, Metaphysics, Spirituality, Psychology, blending it all together beautifully. I loved the Sacred Truth Activations and other practical tips to make small but powerful changes in my life. Very grateful for this encouragement and guidance.

Inspired, intelligent and life-changing, ORIGINAL WISDOM is not one of those preachy self-help books with “a cure for anything that ails ya.” It’s the real deal. Author Donna Bond has generously offered herself as a spiritual guide and her book as a gift.

This book talks about how, as divine spiritual beings, we are a beautiful, empowered, radiant drop of God on an epic human adventure. We are here to express our magnificence and learn to respect, honor, and love our whole lives. By celebrating our human selves with reverence and trusting our higher selves, you can experience wholeness.

The author talks about letting go of old identities and stories of not being good enough and developing a practice of radical self-acceptance, transcending fear, and developing self-trust by listening to intuition.

This book will leave a profound impact on its readers. She achieves her goal of creating a connection with the readers, as if we were conversing with her. The personal experiences added to the overall experience, enhancing it.

I rate it 5 out of 5 stars and recommend this to everyone.
