Your untold story may be silencing your voice, making you sick, and distancing you from those you love most in your life. But when you are able to share your story from a place of vulnerability, a safe community, and a realization that we are all part of a bigger story, you are free to take powerful steps into your future.Contributing author of best-selling Deserts to Mountaintops: Our Collective Journey to (re)Claiming Our Voice, Sue Muraida, woke up one day in her early thirties, realizing she had left the best parts of herself behind. Sibling dysfunction with her brother and sexual abuse at the hands of her uncle framed her growing-up years, and that frame became a cage in her adult life. She grew tired of holding her breath, making herself small, and avoiding connection with others. So she embarked on a healing journey of a hundred thousand steps, a rebirth coming in fits and spurts, small steps and choices towards integrating all parts of herself.As you turn the pages of Sue's story of rescue, reclamation, and release from shame, you may see your own hiding spots and masks you've worn to keep the peace. But you will also find the inspiration and encouragement to break free from what's fake and tell your true story. And by doing so, you just may save someone else's life along with your own.

In 2011, while on a routine mission for her organization in Somalia, Jessica Buchanan made one seemingly small decision that would change the trajectory of her life. She ignored her intuition, and by doing so, silenced her voice. As a result, she spent ninety-three days as a hostage to pirates who demanded 45 million dollars for her freedom. On January 25, 2012, Jessica was successfully rescued by SEAL Team Six.While Jessica's story is unique, her practice of self-abandonment is not. She has spent the last decade learning how to repair her relationship with her intuition, and through the hard work of reclaiming her voice, Jessica has continued to climb her way out of the desert of self-abandonment to the mountaintop of self-love.Deserts to Mountaintops, birthed from Jessica's healing journey, is an anthology of twenty-two women's unique accounts of their own desert to mountaintop experiences. Empowering stories of survival, tenacity, and resilience highlight these women's incredible ability to finally choose themselves. By reclaiming their voice, they show us how to stand in our own infinite power, reminding us why we are here, what we can do, and who we can become.
