You will learn why they felt drawn to share their story with complete openness and vulnerability to support the readers to have the confidence to take back control of their own lives without feeling they had become selfish.
Within each conversation they will also be sharing new thoughts and insights.
Fireside Gathering ~ What the Authors are Sharing with you
Day 1 Episode 1 ~ Sara Jane
Chapter 10 ~ Friend or Foe: The Downside of Being a People Pleaser
The Catalyst
Do we really have to wait for a catalyst to make us so uncomfortable in our comfort zone, before we will take the actions to protect ourselves from those who are hurting us, whether mentally, emotionally or physically?
No, we don’t. All we need to do is find that spark of courage in us and feed it rather than listening to the voice that tells us “it will be OK”, “it will stop” or “well it was your own fault”.
Anything there ring bells? Feed hope not fear.
The Wounded Healer
So many people who become what we call “Healers” have had a journey through their own trauma, hurt and pain, on through their wake-call, lifequake and into their healing journey back to themselves.
For so many of us, this becomes our gift to the world as we share the wisdom gained from within our own journey to find ourselves.
Day 1 Episode 2 ~ Michol Mae & Scott Holmes
Michol Mae: Chapter 8 ~ They Just Needed More Love: My Cup wasn’t Empty, it was Broken
Finding peace with curiosity and compassion.
Scott Holmes: Chapter 14 ~ Taking My Cape Off: Saving Myself Instead of Saving the World
When is gratitude used in your life?
Using gratitude as a tool for shaping and reshaping your days. It allows negativity to slide right off your shoulders. Counting blessings keeps you smelling the roses in life.
Day 2 Episode 3 ~ Bradford Tilden & Jean Voice Dart
Bradford Tilden: Chapter 13 ~ Creative Emancipation: Releasing Misdirected Childhood Expectations
There’s No Comparison so Stop Looking
One of the most unique gifts we are given is our uniqueness. But it takes strength and courage to walk this path of authenticity. We actually stray from that path and we weaken our inner strength when we look outside of ourselves for comparison, confirmation validation, and even a sense of belonging that is subject to manipulation, and rooted in fear of isolation rather than the joy of contribution.
Bradford Tilden shares his personal journey of emerging as a uniquely resonating being and the lessons and insights he learned from his struggles.”
Jean Voice Dart: Chapter 27 ~ A Different Hero: The Courageous Neurodivergent
The Courageously Creative Neurodivergent
Each of us is a wonderfully weird and uniquely gifted hero, destined for greatness. The term “neurodiversity” first emerged from the passionate efforts of Judy Singer in the late 1990s to describe those whose brains function “differently” from the societal norm. When we learn to wholeheartedly love and accept ourselves and others, we discover limitless joy, peace, and contentment.
Day 2 Episode 4 ~ Anthony Wilson & Nicole Peterhans
Anthony Wilson ~ Chapter 1 ~ Following My Heart: Searching for My Truth in an Unaccepting Religion
Spiritually Following the Wisdom of your Heart
Often, we are told by religion what to believe. Sometimes religion defines some of us as “good people” and others as “bad people”. With love and compassion as our guides, we can choose our beliefs and trust our inner spiritual voices. We can choose to embrace with love people the church might reject.
Nicole Peterhans ~ Chapter 23 ~ From Invisible to Visible: Losing Myself Under a Narcissistic Upbringing
From Survival to Soul-Fullness: Reclaiming My Inner Child Through Post-Traumatic Resilience
Exploring the often-overlooked gift that can emerge from emotional trauma: post-traumatic resilience. Rooted in my lived experience growing up under the shadow of a narcissistic parent, I share how my journey of healing became a sacred reunion with my inner child—the intuitive, tender, and wise part of me that had been buried under years of people-pleasing and silence.
Rather than being defined by my past, I now see myself as an alchemist of it.
Day 3 Episode 5 ~ Jos Smeets & Lorree Appleby
Lorree Appleby: Chapter 3 ~ The Risk of Living My Truth: Instead of Someone Else’s
The Art of Letting Go of Judgement & Disappointment
Judgment and disappointment are a normal part of life but what can we do to process our thoughts and feelings in a healthy way so we can accept the situation as it is? Let’s talk about it!
Jos Smeets: Chapter 22 ~ Stay true to Yourself: Look Who’s Talking
The Spiritual Ego
We can say or claim all kinds of things, but are they really true for us? “To say these things means nothing; to mean these words means everything”
- Do we put flesh on these bones?
- Do we speak from the heart or from the mind?
As long as we believe in enemies, were are certainly not free. And when I say this I mean: seen from the deepest Reality. On the human plane I DO see enemies (Trump, Putin etc.), but seen from the “soul level” we are all “divine”. So my “judgement” is relative, not absolute.
Day 3 Episode 6 ~ Ilene Dillon & Dorian Des Lauriers
Ilene Dillon: Chapter 6 ~ Manipulation Can Be Hard to See
Emotions Are Constantly Speaking to All of Us
We’re all “moving on up” in the world these days! We’re moving from 3 dimensional beings to primarily Energy Beings. Emotions are available to help us resolve issues and challenges, support us and to transform. Manipulation is about the misuse and misappropriation of energy. Today we’ll focus on use and appropriation of emotional energy that we can do every day, so we can “move on up”!
Dorian Des Lauriers: Chapter 7 ~ Who’s Picking up the Tab?: The Price We Pay and Why We Do It
Forgiveness: The Key to a Present Future
How many hours in the day are spent thinking of what has already happened? How much of the future is feared based on the past?
Starting from childhood things happen to create our beliefs of the world. Those beliefs shape our lived experience.
Learning how to forgive frees the energy of the things we hold onto and most of the thoughts of the past.
Day 4 Episode 7 ~ David D. McLeod & Heather Prince
Heather Prince: Chapter 4 ~ A Life Reclaimed
From Rock Bottom to Radiance: Rebuilding Life After Long-Term Love Ends
After decades in a relationship that defined her world, Heather knows the gut-punch of suddenly facing life alone. But she also knows this: it’s not the end — it’s the beginning. As a spiritual relationship life coach, Heather guides women who’ve gone through soul-shattering breakups or divorces — often after 10, 20, even 30 years — and feel like they’ve lost themselves in the process.
She helps them move beyond the pain, clear out emotional baggage, reclaim self-worth, and rebuild a life where peace, confidence, and real love aren’t just possible — they’re inevitable.
David D. McLeod: Chapter 2 ~ Mind over Manipulation—from Puppet to Powerhouse!: Reclaim Your Sovereignty; Stand in Your Truth
The Upside of Selfishness
When you think of how our parents, teachers, leaders, and other authority figures encourage us–or indeed, FORCE us–to abdicate our sovereignty and allow ourselves to be defined by their rules and perspectives, it becomes pretty obvious that the majority of humans are living within a script that was written by somebody else.
On some level we are aware of this manipulated enslavement, and some people try to rebel against it. Alas, the external force is very strong, and it is often easier to give up (or give in) and remain in our comfort zones.
Day 4 Episode 8 ~ Sunny Peiming Sun & Angela Orora Medway-Smith
Angela Orora Medway-Smith: Chapter 5: Tipping Point: The Road to Reclaiming Your Personal Power
The Tipping Point: My Stepping Into Sovereignty Soul Lesson
In this deeply personal talk, Angela Orora Medway-Smith shares the life-changing event that became the catalyst for her stepping into true sovereignty — a story she first revealed in the bestselling book I Didn’t Become Selfish, I Became Harder to Manipulate.
While the experience was traumatic, it marked a profound turning point in Angela’s soul journey — a moment of reckoning that stripped away illusion, cracked open her heart, and ultimately led her to reclaim her sovereignty.
Sunny Peiming Sun: Chapter 17 ~ From “Why Me?” to “I Am” I Am Who I Am So I Don’t Need to Be Anyone Else
I am Life Itself, Ever Evolving
In my chapter of I Didn’t Become Selfish. I Became Harder to Manipulate, I share the deeper journey behind my transformation—one shaped by decades of cultural navigation, personal loss, and rising beyond limiting identities. For years, I struggled with self-worth, driven by a desire to prove myself through achievements, approval, and accumulation. But through a 33-year journey bridging East and West, I came to a profound realization: I don’t need to define who I am—because I am Life itself, ever evolving.
Life has taken me where I needed to be, assigned me roles, brought me the right people, and offered challenges that became doorways to growth. Today, I no longer chase labels or validation. I trust the flow of life and focus on being the best version of myself in each moment.
Day 5 Episode 9 ~ Elizabeth McPherson & Chessie Roberts
Elizabeth McPherson: Chapter 12~ From Manipulation to Freedom: How I decluttered my Entire Life from Control
Divorce in your 50’s
More and more women are divorcing in their 50’s/60s which is, of course, around the time of menopause. There is some interesting data about this, and I would like to share my thoughts on taking this brave step at a later stage in life. Not only how it affects you emotionally, but also spiritually.
Chessie Roberts: Chapter 16 : As I Think, So I Am I Am Limitless
Real Freedom Comes With Finally Seeing Your True Motive
How long, how often have you carried guilt for a long-ago transgression?
How long have you carried that perceived guilt for said transgression?
When did it come to you that the guilt you carried was for the wrong reason?
When did you realize that your true reason was to step out from under manipulation and regain your own agency? How free did you feel then?
Day 5 Episode 10 ~ Linda Binns & Mahalia Michael
Linda Binns: Chapter 11 ~ The Power Within: Transforming Childhood Pain into Adult Triumph

In this conversation, we’ll uncover why true self-awareness is so powerful, and how peeling back those layers will allow you to reconnect with your authentic self and live with greater clarity, freedom, and fulfillment.
Mahalia Michael: Chapter 21 ~ Overcoming Total Rejection: A Journey to Freedom and Self-Love

- The dark and all to grow closer to God.
Day 6 Episode 11 ~ Dianna Leeder & Laurie Morin
Dianna Leeder: Chapter 19 ~ Manipulated? Selfish? Do they really matter?
What if what we learned about ourselves wasn’t true?
A conversation about our reliance on social conditioning over our inner selves
We say we are busy. We say we are tired. We even say we don’t like the drama. Understanding how we are affected by the human sauce is the key to dropping all of that. Is it time for a separation?
Laurie Morin: Chapter 24 ~ You Catch More Flies with Honey than with Vinegar: How to Escape the Trap of a Sweet-Talking Manipulator
Grandmothers, Mothers & Daughters
How stories are passed down from our ancestors, and how to unravel ourselves from the past. Understanding, forgiveness, and compassion as the key to liberating our own stories.
Day 6 Episode 12 ~ Linda Marsanico & Sara Troy
Linda Marsanico: Chapter 20~ A Most Challenging Time in My Life: How I Experienced, And Came Back from Trauma

Dirk Albrodt was born in Germany, living in the Netherlands since 2002. I wrote my first book when I was 18. It was like a small miracle and shaped my future career: the first and only publisher I sent the manuscript to published it. Since then, I have written more than 20 books and countless articles and contributions in newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc. From the late 70s to the mid 80s I worked in a care setting, then in a hospital. I then trained as a naturopath in Germany and on this basis later also obtained a licence as such in the Netherlands, where I worked in my own practice, Praktik Klaproos.
In the 1990s I led a research project on flower essences in pregnancy, which resulted in a book with the same title. This was followed by many lectures and courses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and occasionally further afield.
I later produced two music CDs with healing sounds and am now mainly involved in the production of virtual training courses and new books.
Two of my titles have been published in English: The Essence of Meditation and Archetypal Flower Essences.
