YOURU: Find the Guru within You, author Sarah Susak

from Yellow Shelf Podcast · host Johanna Fink, Host of Yellow Shelf

 Is your happiness dependant on someone or something else changing? Are you struggling to find purpose in your pain? Do you long for a lasting kind of fulfilment? Author Sarah Susak knows exactly how you feel. Through childhood trauma, challenging relationships and a life-threatening health diagnosis, Sarah often wondered why life can sometimes feel so damn hard – and whether she could find her way through. For decades she looked to others for the answers, assigning guru status to anyone and anything outside herself that she believed would save her from suffering. Unwittingly, she was living in reliance on everyone and everything ‘out there’, unaware of the wisdom and power she already held within. In YOURU (pronounced you-ru), Sarah shares a raw and deeply personal account of her unique journey from seeking validation and rescue from others to finding and embracing self-sufficiency. She details how a rare and deadly head and neck cancer diagnosis shattered her world, but led her to the ancient practice of Vedic meditation, which helped her piece it back together. Through her story, she illustrates how turning inwards delivers the healing, clarity and answers she has always craved. With candour, warmth and moments of laugh-out-loud humour, Sarah offers a helping hand for those who feel stuck, afraid or at the mercy of circumstance. She proves it’s possible to break free from the past, overcome setbacks and step into a life of purpose, community and self-empowerment. Part memoir, part self-help book, part kick-ass manifesto, YOURU is the nudge you need when you no longer know where to look. To connect with Sarah ... www.sarahsusak.com www.sarahsusak.com/my-book www.sarahsusak.com/my-blog www.sarahsusak.com/about-medi-steady-go www.instagram.com/Sarah_susak/
