“In hindsight co-authoring, with Judy O’Beirn and over fifty other now-turned international best selling co-authors in Unwavering Strength, was an opportunity to enter into a creative, collaborative, rich and meaningful world. Connecting with people that I otherwise might never have met and touching their lives, hearts and souls through their stories, deepened and expanded my humanity. Thank you. There is something simply beautiful in telling our story.”
~Anya Sophia Mann, Visionary Intuitive and International Best Selling Co-Author in Unwavering Strength Volume 1 & 2
