How is your book helping others?

Dear Durga gives modern moms and women, who selflessly and wearily care for their families and communities, tools to defeat repetitive fears that both get in the way of recognizing their worthiness and making sustainable life changes. I utilize my story working with Durga Maa, a warrior goddess who symbolizes courage for billions across the globe, to show women that when they are equipped with easy-to-use tools to activate courage and keep it alive, they too can emerge victorious. My Courage Kit framework gives readers straightforward, time-efficient practices they can engage in via the following phases: 1) activating courage; 2) getting aligned with needs; 3) alleviating stressors; and 4) taking courageous action steps. This book helps women drop antiquated patriarchal notions that devalue their contributions to society so that they can fully embrace all dimensions of who they are, as well as forge their own fulfilling personal and professional paths.
