SACRED WILDNESS
Hope
A Journey of Self Love
How do you begin to love something you hate, especially when that something is yourself?
​
Learning to love me was the hardest thing I've ever done.​
I clawed my way from the depths of my despair, tore down my delusions and began to heal the hurts and traumas that had been drowning me for a lifetime.
​
I learnt to create a life filled with love, peace and purpose.
The girl I was, paved the way for the woman I was destined to become.​
"Some of us aren’t brave enough to find our way out of the darkness, but Renee’s story shows us that there is always a way out. This story touched me in many ways. She reminded me that we all started somewhere and if we continue to open up our hearts to the endless possibilities around us, we will land exactly where we need to be."
"I have not read a more true, vulnerable and honest story... She is not afraid to share the hard things she has been through in order to give permission to others to do the same."
When you read Hope, you remember your own truth, your own power.
You see your story within mine, and know that change is possible, that you're worthy of your dreams and desires.​
These pages contain companionship, witnessing and your own hope.
READER REVIEWS
"Hope is the powerful story all women who have, or are, awakening to who they are meant to be will relate to. It is vulnerable and real. It will make you cry at its raw truth and in the next sentence make you laugh out loud. If you are searching for your own truth, Hope may just be the reminder you need."
"So grateful for you sharing your story. I related so much to so many aspects. To know that we are not alone. Thanks for putting your story out into the world, I know it will offer healing to others."
"I was captivated with the authenticity and vulnerability within Renee's storytelling. To read a tale of a woman's journey with it's ups and downs helps us to feel less alone. And reading of one woman's dedication to her healing supports us in holding our own hope. I am so grateful for the gift of hope."
"Renee’s book, Hope, had a refreshing rawness. This book was a true insight into how to not sit idly through life. How to recognise the imbalances and where the unrest deep within you is coming from. How to get help. A raw and inspiring story of one woman’s journey to finding healing, peace and hope."
"First of all, you are a very strong writer - the book flows quite seamlessly and your phrasing and knowledge of writing convention is, quite frankly, impressive. But it is the vulnerability with which you open yourself up for the reader that makes this book so compelling.”
"You have gifted me with a LOT reading this. You have ignited a lot of remembering and inspired action."
For over 30 years I hated myself, my life, and everything I was. I had no hope of ever truly changing, and that devastation ruled my existence. This is a story of truth and destruction - one that eventually led me to my own freedom.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"Renee’s book, Hope, had a refreshing rawness. Her journey to accepting and loving herself was a rough one. She tells the story of her road away from self-hatred - despising her physical body, her choices, her childhood, her situation in life. Renee travels through many healing avenues such as energy clearing reiki, dance, journaling, human design, working with an angel medium and a shaman to connect with her guides and find her path.
Renee connects with her past and faces her past traumas head on. Traumas such as abortions, not feeling loved and accepted as a child and her newborn being whisked away, not being able to breathe. In her book, she shares snippets from her journals over her years of healing and then dives deeper and reflects on what was happening at that time.
This beautiful woman learns how to go slow and find space, how to look in the mirror and love herself, how to reject the goals and generic path society pushes on people. She finds her way to being a mother she can be proud of. By healing her past, she can now heal the future for her daughter and son and break the generational pattern.
Renee discovers a deep understanding of her marriage, her husband, how they communicate and how she uses sex. She finds a way to balance the needs of her husband with her personal boundaries.
This book was a true insight into how to not sit idly through life. How to recognise the imbalances and where the unrest deep within you is coming from. How to get help. A raw and inspiring story of one woman’s journey to finding healing, peace and hope."
