Best-selling Author Ange Alex takes readers on a journey in her new book Unravel of coming undone and ultimately finding complete peace and total happiness.Ange own unraveling began in 2012, when she and her husband returned to Boston to be with her mother-in-law who was battling stage 4 cancer. She shares with readers her experience of feeling as though everything was falling apart to help others, and how she found a path back to peace and happiness.“We are all balls of tangled mess. It’s time we embrace that. Let yourself come apart at the seams and let go of all that which no longer serves you. It is time to unravel,” said Ange Alex, author of Unravel.Ange encourages everyone to embrace themselves and the acceptance of who they are is crucial to creating the life they really want. A few years ago, Alex and her family decided to live out their dreams and become a full-time RV family. “Its all about the mindset. Living in a small house on wheels often means taking on a minimalist lifestyle. We love the life we are living,” said Ange Alex.The secret to finding happiness is not what you think. It may be the opposite of everything you have been told. Instead of holding it all together, Ange Alex suggests that you fall apart. You must completely come undone in order to rebuild yourself in the image you want and create the life you really want.For more information about Unravel, please visit angealex.com to order a copy of the book starting August 1st!Podcast is powered by The Binge Podcast Network!
