The Courage to Shine is a powerful and inspirational memoir by Dr. Eileen Forrestal, a former anesthesiologist who transforms her life. From a lifetime of ‘putting people to sleep’, Eileen is now in the business of ‘waking people up!
In The Courage to Shine Eileen retraces her personal journey, acknowledging the courage it takes to tell the truth about one’s own life. She shares her story of finding her voice, healing a powerful mother-daughter relationship, and discovering the courage to shine.
Eileen is now a successful entrepreneur who finds joy and freedom in the healing power of words and encourages others to discover the same. She now lives a life “beyond her dreams” as an entrepreneurial thought leader, writer, speaker, and coach using her own words and wisdom. In sharing her story of finding her authentic voice, she encourages you to find, and use, yours.
If you ever wonder if you’re living the wrong life, as if somehow, when “two roads diverged in a yellow wood” – you took the wrong road and wound up here, The Courage to Shine will inspire and uplift you. You may find yourself asking, does taking the path less travelled path make all the difference, or perhaps, Is there any such thing as a wrong road?
