Only from the ashes of who we once were, can we rise up to become who we’re meant to be....

There comes a time in each of our lives when everything seems like it’s falling apart - our relationships unravel, our health declines, our finances crumble - and it can be easy to allow these circumstances to define us. When these seemingly insurmountable obstacles arise, we have two choices: to use our circumstances as an excuse to stay stuck or to face our fears and move through them.

In 2008, Adena’s world came crashing down! Her story is one of excruciating heartbreak, severe chronic illness, and financial devastation - a 12-year journey that had her fighting for her life. Since then, she has taken everything she has learned about thriving in the face of adversity and is sharing those lessons with others as a roadmap to recovery and healing. In The Road Back to Me, Adena Sampson reveals nine foundational principles that have helped countless people transform their lives.

In this life-changing book, you’ll discover:

• How early trauma affects health across a lifetime and how having compassion is key when identifying your childhood wounds, codependent relationships, and failed attempts to fix things
• How to understand the driving force behind the self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back, redefine the way you measure success, and adopt new empowering habits and beliefs that will improve your quality of life
• How to forgive and let go of grief, no matter how someone may have hurt you in the past, and build a stronger sense of rapport, confidence, and trust in yourself and in all your relationships
• How to uncover your authentic self by rekindling the joy in your life, reigniting your passion, and unlocking your true potential
• How to build resilience so that you can bounce back with courage, clarity, and purpose
• How to experience a newfound freedom, bridging the gap between where you are and where you are meant to be - a happier, healthier, more empowered you!

“When you read this book, you will both be inspired and empowered. Adena has captured the essence of what it means to struggle and overcome. Her story will give you hope, and her principles will leave you with the ability to move through whatever is going on in your life.

Powerful!

I’ve gotten so many gems of wisdom from this book! These are for me the authentic kinds of wisdom - that comes from someone who has truly experienced and lived through many incredible humbling hardships and suffering. The author Adena Sampson has found a way to turn all these hardships into “small miracles” - and in the book she shares her powerful inspiration, principles and tools for choosing to see gifts in everything - even amongst the pain and tragedy. Highest recommendation!

EMPOWERING - The Heart of it all revealed clearly

I love it when the author reads their own book! Adena communicates with elegance, vulnerability, and warmth from beyond. The book begins with Adena's journey, weaving in personal stories, and family history, shining light on a much larger perspective. This sets the stage for the 9 Principles to unfold. The book opens up and becomes about you and your journey - Sharing insights, wisdom, and tools for you to navigate your own path. The wisdom pieces are simple and clear, making it easy to understand and relate to my own journey/story. I grew as a person, loved it, and Highly Recommend it!

Life Changing!! Inspirational!!

Adena's life has been colorful in many ways...lots of it dark though. To read her story and be encouraged onto a path of beauty and rainbow colors is nothing short of miraculous...and in inspiration to keep on fighting and failing forward!

Heartfelt and compelling

Adena’s portrayal of her life situations are perfect for bringing the life principles she writes about into perfect clarity. One way or another you will be able to relate to her situations and feel like she is talking directly to you and your life.
This book will be an eye opener to anyone that reads it with an open heart and no matter who you are you will not be left empty handed after hearing her story and gleaning from the principles she has lived by.

Poignant, Powerful, Life Changing

This audio book is gripping, masterfully articulated, and an absolute not to be missed selection! To listen to the author herself recount such inspiring and emotionally affecting stories from her life, combining them with principles we all need to rebuild our brokenness--I listened to the entire book at one time and have reviewed it many times since.

In a world filled with pain, isolation and confusion, Adena Sampson sheds light in the dark corners and backwoods of our life stories. All of us if we have lived long enough will suffer and identify with the wounds the author so powerfully describes. If you are brave, and willing to look into your own life history, this book will provide true hope and a pathway forward from the brokenness of the past. To me, this above all is a book about redemption and the specific steps to find it.

For a small investment and the time taken to listen and reflect, your heart and mine can find the rays of sunshine waiting over the rainbow.

Highest recommendation.

From the Heart, A great read indeed!

Adena delivers an authentic, from the heart story, Filled with lots of wisdom, love and compassion for those of us who have had to overcome the seemingly impossible. This book is a roadmap for anyone who is looking to get back on the road in the right direction, and merge with the on-ramp of happiness and success. Bravo.!

Boxed or scratch it’s still cake. YUMMY!!!!

This is one of the most simple books I’ve ever read!
By simple I mean Adena made the difficult seem simple.

I and I know I am not alone in this, have a tendency to complicate things with overthinking my overthinking. I want everything laid out for me with a bow without complication and flawless.

Adena by passionately sharing parts of her sets the example of what she teaches in The Road Back to Me. I learned to untie untie the bows, expose and accept the flaws and laugh and surf the complications with ease and grace. It wasn’t as easy as I make it seem but it was not as complicated as I thought it was.

I have both the physical and audio book. When I 1st got the book I flipped through and read a little bit of every chapter. I started listening in the car, at my job and on walks. One day I listened and read and it was as if I’d elevated to another plane. The words hit deeper and had more meaning. As much as I wanted all of the information all at once I realized in order to truly get Back to Me the Road is slow and steady which is how I suggest this book is digested. Open up to the possibility that a slow intense ride is faster than it seems.

Adena is an inspiration! Whether I’m reading or listening it’s as if we’re in a conversation and when we’re done I’m fired up or feeling heavy. Either way I’m inspired to make a move forward.

For years I’ve told my children it may not always be easy but it will be worth it. That is what The Road Back to Me is. It’s not always easy Shifting your perspective, Surrendering and accepting what is, Moving through the illusion, Embracing your vulnerability, Reclaiming your power, Lighting up, Living for today, Asking AAAAAAND Receiving and/or Having Faith Whatever it is. I can assure it it will be a fun bumpy Road and so very worth it.

Please do yourself a favor and stop reading the reviews and jump into the book.

Nothing but a bunch of Idioms

i thought this book would be good, but the reader is choppy, to forceful in speech and most of the book is a bunch of idioms. i couldnt continue to listen.
