"Grant yourself permission to SHINE!" -Ilana Kristeva
With uncanny wit and wisdom, Ilana Kristeva shares vivid stories of her personal journey from "groaning to glowing." While rebuilding her body out of a wheelchair despite an extremely painful nerve disorder (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), migraine headaches, and the loss of her voice from esophageal erosion, Ilana reclaimed her life by embracing a wide spectrum of healing modalities-from West to East. Readers witness how her process of making daily living amends to her body, "Body-Part Reconciliation," not only saved her from losing her legs but also from drowning in her love affair with excess: food, sex, alcohol, drugs, money, and more. Celebrate how this born rebel transformed her arsenal of "yes, but" excuses into active participation in a world filled with limitless possibilities.
