"In 2007, I resigned from my corporate position as a regional credit manager for one of the world's leading design, engineering and entertainment software development companies. I didn't resign so I could get a life. I resigned to save my life. You see, I had suspended my sanity to think that what I was doing for work was more important than taking care of myself or my kids (hidden from me in my mind but certainly not hidden in my actions). Progressive adaptation to stress and the desire to succeed professionally in a way that I hadn't succeeded before overshadowed the truth of how lost I really was. The doing of 'just one more thing' instigated my familiar phrase of 'Hold on ' to any requests at home." ... so begins the truth of why this Easebook is here. After recovering from 20+ years in corporate finance, Shanti Douglas has dedicated her life to empowering people everywhere to create greater peace, balance, and resiliency so they can live authentically and energized from their heart.
