Synopsis "Everything is Going to be Okay! From the Projects to Harvard to Freedom"
In the moments before waking up on the pavement after a terrible accident, Catherine Hayes received a powerful message to change her life. Little did she know that she was about to undertake a journey of awakening that would bring her back to her heart and reconnect her with her true, essential self. With grit and perseverance, Catherine rose above her challenging childhood in the projects of South Boston to the heights of academia and the halls of Harvard, but it wasn’t until she turned a healing lens on her painful past that she was able to find answers to her most profound questions. Using tools like the Enneagram, the Diamond Approach, and coaching, she was able to retrace her steps to the places where she had abandoned her heart and, from those points of disconnection, reestablish a true connection to the deeper knowing which is the divine Self at the heart of all of us. Catherine’s powerful story and deep insights around her own experiences will guide you to a restored faith in your inner guidance and the potential of your innate gifts. Her commitment to helping others rediscover their true selves is present on every page. Through her story, you will gain tools for your own personal development, a renewed faith in your inner guidance, and the sense of freedom that comes from finding true forgiveness in all areas of your life. No matter where you are in your life, or what you’ve been through, you can believe Everything is going to be okay. As Russ Hudson, Co-founder and President of The Enneagram Institute shares in the foreword of Everything Is Going to Be Okay!: “In this wonderful book, Catherine shows us how the crises of her very real life led to discoveries and openings to new possibilities, and how the teachings she learned offered her ways to dive deeper into the core of what was truly occurring in her heart. She helps us see how the challenges and the inevitable hurts in a human life can become the grist for genuine transformation, and that no matter what our difficulties may be, they are workable. They can be transformed.” ADVANCE PRAISE: “The beautiful blend of Catherine’s story, wisdom and teachings make this book a delight!
