Offering hope and healing, witness Elizabeth's inspirational transformation from suicidal despair to habitual happiness, sprinkling each step with soul-stirring original poetry and journal excerpts.

For decades, she hid her chronic depression from everyone, including herself, until hitting a crisis point. She seemed successful and happy to all, except her closest confidantes; they knew the anguish she wished to end by killing herself. Through self-exploration, she found a pathway to conquer the pain.

In From the Shadows, she shares the questions she confronted, unearths her root causes, and presents a map out of the mire. Finally, she unlocks inner wealth by facing phantoms holding long forgotten keys to her past.

Joining in her journey, you may uncover a few treasures of your own.

Whirlpool of pain, despair I share
For your own gain, I bring you there.

Sucked me down, but will lift you up -
The gifts uncovered, when unstuck.

Maelstrom drew me time and again;
Me, myself, and I weren't as friend.

A shadow plagued my destiny,
Before sunlit divinity.

Hear my story,treasure I found,
As it unfolds, soul almost drowned.

Reveal my grief, the guilt, and shame,
Unwinding as I blend my name.

Listen as I share of rebirth -
Meaning and passion's soulful mirth.

Lure you in, then lighten your load;
A wealth inside worth more than gold.

Precious self-love and purpose too,
Join in this journey to renew.
