Dear Hello Reader, I’m so excited to share that the audiobook version of The Shaman’s Wife: A Mystical Journey of Surrender and Self Discovery is now available. I know several of you have read the book or have been waiting for the audio version. I narrated it myself because some stories carry a resonance that can only be fully felt when spoken aloud, in the voice of the one who lived it. I blew through my book in 2 days- couldn’t put it down. The prose was heartbreakingly glorious, like a liquid poem flowing through my psyche. A phenomenal accomplishment and a must read - particularly for women who have often walked that path along with you. May it infuse any who needs it with the ability to access the courage and fortitude to come through shining (as you clearly have). Bravo girl- I finished it 3 days ago… it is still lingering in my heart ❤️ - poignant and brilliant.

This memoir began as a deeply personal story of love, spiritual awakening, loss, and ultimately, reclamation. But what I’ve come to understand is that while the experiences are mine, the themes are universal. Especially for women. I have heard from so many women that upon reading the book felt empowered to stand in their own story. So many of us have, at some point, surrendered our agency, slowly, subtly, or suddenly. We’ve given our power to relationships, roles, or cultural expectations. And then, often through pain and courage, we begin the long, beautiful journey back to ourselves. The Shaman’s Wife is about that journey: Finished the book last week and how appropriate that I started on a plane and finished oceanside. What a powerful story and journey! During your corporate coaching days, I often described you as strong, tough and bold and now adding new descriptors: brave and courageous. Congratulations Alicia on this soon to be best seller and thank you for sharing so deeply with us.

Narrating this story allowed me to infuse each chapter with the emotion, nuance, and spirit behind the words. I believe you’ll feel it as you listen, even more deeply than when reading. I've been told by readers that they felt as if they were walking the rainforest with me, or feeling the same emotions, as if they were in my story. Listening to the audiobook will undoubtedly amplify those feelings of being IN the story with me. This book swept me away. The way the author describes the details of her external and internal landscapes, it felt like I was sitting at the kitchen table with her, sobbing with her, or witnessing the many inspiring details of the world around her. The Shaman’s Wife is a beautifully told story, and by the end you’ll feel like it was YOUR story. Such a gorgeous read!

This book speaks especially to those of us called to live with intention, who are learning that self-love is not indulgence; it is the ground of all spiritual growth. It’s what makes self-care meaningful, and leadership, authentic. If you’re navigating your own life transition, questioning your path, or seeking a deeper connection to your inner wisdom, I hope this story serves as both a mirror and a guide. Or if you have clients or friends who would be inspired from reading this story, please share the link below. I would honestly say I drank this book up. Alicia was my first coach. She helped me get to where I am today in my life and business.
Alicia has a power of storytelling and guiding a person through their own labyrinth by allowing you to feel her by your side. She takes your hand and travels with you as a spirit friend allowing the other to find their way in their own time and unique expression.
In her story about her own trials, she shows us how her vulnerability allowed her to pull from her deepest strength in a way that teaches us that we have that same power and strength.
This book has changed me and has helped me find a strength I didn't know I had. The coming year I am starting a book club for which this will be the first book we dive into. Thank you, Alicia, for all you do to help bring light into the world!
