Episode 33: Part 2 Author Mish Thurlow "Truth Seeker - finding your light". What writing revealed to the author and her wish for all that read her book

Part 2 of 2 Parts: Mish Thurlow wrote her first book in the year of 2020 when everything was topsy-turvy in our world, and her support network back home in South Africa, seemed more distant than ever before. Through the process of writing her book "Truth Seeker - finding your light" Mish explored her own inner truth, and on reflection, came upon a significant acknowledgement of her truest self that she hadn't expected.  Mish gathered up her courage and spoke her truth, to those she loved most. The most freeing, albeit risky, choice she could make to be the truest version of herself. Expecting to be burnt in the process, or to be rejected, Mish is instead full of love and admiration for the incredible people who love her unconditionally. It made me think of the quote:  "By coming out to ourselves, we free up the energy we spent keeping that part of ourselves hidden." - Patrick Califia, Author. We talk on:  the meaning of Truth Seeker and Finding Your Light;  as an author, how she's going about getting her book out there;  Mish's sincerest wish for those who read it; and  given this is Coffee and Contemplation time, Mish throws in a fabulous metaphor about coffee and alignment.  We end with: Mish's favourite quote;  her 3 Key Pieces of Day-to-Day Wisdom she lives by; and  as a music lover, her favourite sing-out--loud song and why. Thank you so much Mish for coming back to chat today.  You'll find Mish's beautiful smiling face and can buy her book directly at www.mishthurlow.com. _____________________________________________________________________ Coffee and Contemplation with Susan is a podcast show of real people, doing extraordinary things.  A place where stories are shared, for the storyteller's benefit as well as those listening in.  I'm Susan Dunlop, a professionally trained life and business coach, in Noosa, Queensland.  Our heads are full of stories.
