SOME PERSONAL NOTES:
I'm currently enjoying introducing myself at events and online as The M.E.T.A. Manifestation Mentor (TM) and The Blissability Coach (TM).
As The M.E.T.A. Manifestation Coach (TM), I truly enjoy helping growth-aligned individuals actualized their highest potential. Sometimes, the best and wisest decision is to ASK for support from an experienced mentor who has the benefit of a broader perspective and life experiences, who is able to hold a compassionate space for your BEAUTIFUL transformation at YOUR pace.
As a spiritually awakened being, I truly experience life as a sacred gift. I've experienced my share of extreme darkness, doubts, pains, traumas, and illnesses. My own beautiful transformational journey did NOT happen overnight. The evolution of my consciousness occurred over decades, with surprising bursts of insights, series of paradigm shifts, and depths of wonder.
Having invested many decades for CONSCIOUSLY healing, re-inventing and re-building myself, over and over, I can honestly attest that the deep work is necessary and absolutely priceless. I'm a living proof that it's possible to overcome huge challenges AND to enjoy an unshakable sense of UNCONDITIONAL well-being of mind, body, and soul. I can help empower and enlighten others who desire the same through my original books, intensive coaching support, and innovative educational programs.

Best-selling author, international speaker, and mental health advocate, Cindy Tank-Murphy offers a unique perspective on the much-needed conversation around overcoming the grief from suicide and the mental health epidemic around it. Trained in Mental Health First Aid and certified in QPR, a suicide prevention technique, Cindy believes we can eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness through awareness and open dialogue that will ultimately save lives.
Cindy’s life was forever changed on July 22, 2014, when her father ended his life, and she was left with a choice to make. She could allow shame, guilt, and sorrow to swallow her whole or seek better understanding through education and a new version of herself through vulnerable self-discovery. Thankfully, she chose the latter, which began a massive shift in her healing journey, one that has had a profound and lasting impact on her future and called her to be a compassionate voice regarding mental health.
In the years that followed her father’s suicide, Cindy began to notice similar signs of depression, anxiety, and dissociation in her teenage daughter. Her mother’s intuition knew she needed to seek the right expertise and treatment for her daughter, or she might find herself reliving the devastation of suicide all over again. As someone who has both experienced the emotional impact of suicide from someone who has succeeded and the anguish of keeping it a bay from someone who is contemplating it, Cindy understands the fear that comes from both ends of the spectrum and acknowledges it from a perspective that enables her to be a supportive lifeline for others.
Her gift is her desire to help others heal by exploring their own stories and finding compassion and understanding amid the sorrows of suicide. Her personal experience, perspective, and passion for sharing her experience make her an ideal mentor and a compassionate voice for those struggling emotionally with suicide loss or dealing with someone they love battling mental illness.
Through her dedication to raising awareness and providing support, Cindy gives a compelling and personal account of how she began the healing process and provides supportive steps to help her readers do the same. In her debut solo book, The Strength To Live, she shares how to move through your grief and find the hero in you on the other side.
Cindy lives in Naperville, IL, with her husband and two daughters. She enjoys traveling, humanitarian work, writing, practicing Reiki healing and radical self-love, meditating, and spending time in nature. Her background has empowered her to become an advocate to help those who are grieving from suicide. She can be reached at cindy@thestrengthtolive.com.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2022I’d highly recommend this book to anyone open to a new path of self-discovery. The authors share their deeply personal and at times moving stories that will resonate with anyone coming to terms with their own journey and the process of accepting, and embracing, the universe and how she speaks when we allow ourselves to listen.
This book doesn’t simply focus on wisdom or one’s quest for it---the way one typically thinks of how we learn through experience and sometimes hard lessons. Instead, it captures how we can identify, process, and ultimately spark (Ignite!) our own wisdom. That there is no right and perfect story---each of our stories is special and should be embraced and reveled in.
One of my favorite chapters was called “In My Skin”, by Dr. Kerry Egan. In it she shares a deeply personal and intimate story of her mother’s passing and her journey of awakening in the days and months that followed. The recognition of her own life struggles, some rooted in her upbringing and others connected to her personal and professional life, and how they were physically affecting her and leading her down the same well-traveled path of ‘armoring up’. This really hit me---as a young boy we learn early on to suck it up and soldier on, that’s what a man does and what real strength looks like, or so we thought. She walks us through her self-transformation of body, mind and spirit, and how her mother was with her on her journey. “I learned to melt the armor, partner with sensations, and learned that healing is coming home to yourself”, Dr. Egan says.
Like most my journey has been years in the making, but came to a head late last year---job loss, divorce, and a parent diagnosed with Alzhiemers. And while my instinct would have been to ‘armor up’, thickening my skin so to speak, historically that’s brought a host of complications that sometimes are just as painful and take even longer to resolve. Instead maybe there’s another way. One where strength comes not from the thickness of the skin but rather its resiliency, its ability to flex and move and adapt, and ultimately to recognize that its ok. Dr Egan says, “When you open your heart to magic, you begin to call it in from the Universe”.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2022This is a GORGEOUSLY crafted book, supporting the reading experience as a sensory pleasure. I appreciated the finest aesthetic details from a design perspective. The content consisting of 34 individually crafted stories by each co-author is simply a labor of love and hard-earned wisdom. Many of the authors shared their most vulnerable and challenging moments/decades for the benefit of their readers. No matter what you many be facing in life, you can find at least one author in this book who probably went through something similar - domestic violence abuse, childhood abuse, cancer diagnosis, loss of a spouse, death of a loved one, betrayal, humiliation, ... real-life situations that sooner or later, all humans will encounter at one point or another. These stories provide HOPE and GUIDANCE on how to grow to the next level to deal with our challenges with more assurance. I've read 4 other Ignite books, and my honest belief is that THIS BOOK will probably become a classic and republished many times due to increasing demand. They make lovely and thoughtful gifts to family members, friends, and clients. Actually, anyone who receives a paper copy would be absolutely delighted! You get WISE "friends" in your pocket or purse!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2022I LOVED Katie Smetherman’s story. Right away, I was pulled in with her preface about allowing yourself grace, taking time, and finding the help necessary to recover. Specifically, the phrase “Low seasons don’t have a time limit.” was ultimately what encouraged me to keep reading this beautifully written piece exploring the determination and resolve of one person thrown into the woes of loss and emotional hardship, while navigating the already seemingly overwhelming challenges of achieving one's own personal and professional goals. Katie does an incredible job at creating a relatable space for the reader to submerge themselves in, allowing the vulnerability of her past to set the stage for the rest of the story to take roots within our own hearts and minds. I quickly found myself rooting for Katie as her story continued as though I was cheering for myself and my own dreams. Reading and rereading each sentence, each paragraph, with a kind of anticipation that we only normally find in the smallest hours of our hardest days, wishing so much for something good that might open our eyes to the surreal beauty of accomplishment no matter what its form may be. The intrinsic value of just the first few pages alone is priceless. However, the story continues and the merit of Katie’s words and emotions with it. I dare not say much more in regards to how the story unfolds because I want to encourage as many people to read it themselves; to find the same kind of beauty in strength I did. It's a piece I will cherish forever as I continue my own path to my own success, as I would hope would be the case for many others. Thank you, Katie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Each chapter is an amazing journey
I love how each short chapter is a deep dive into our humanity. The structure is beautiful, with an intention, a story, and practical action steps to use the insights.
I will use individual chapters to journal, or to start a discussion with my family or at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such an incredible book filled with amazing Moments of Wisdom
This is a wonderful compilation filled with heart filled stories. The authors are all willing to be seen and to show their vulnerability to the world. I am especially proud of Barb Lilley, to share her beautifully written story that she has kept "locked in the vault" for many years. I also enjoyed Diana Lockett's emotional and uplifting story of Surrender, Cindy Tank-Murphy's story of her personal healing and can't wait to read her solo book, MaryAnn Swan's story of being present is both brave and heart felt. Jenna Haji's story is extremely powerful, love that she has made mental health a true focus not just for herself but others. I love all of these stories. Kudos to all the authors involved and of course to JB for making it all Possible to share these stories with the world. I highly recommend you read this book. Full of nuggets of wisdom of all kinds. :)
- Yvonne N.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 15, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars A ‘must have’ book for people of all ages!
“Ignite Your Wisdom” is an amazing book, written by beautiful souls, all telling their own personal stories. The reader cannot fail to learn valuable life lessons for him/herself as they progress through all the stories.
The first story I was drawn to read was ”The Real Bully” by Stephanie Fabela. I admire the courage she has shown in writing her story, and I’m sure it will help so many readers who find themselves in similar circumstances. Stephanie’s heart-warming account reminded me never to judge the behaviour of others, young or old, as you never really know what is going on in their lives. Their thoughts and reactions to events happening in their life are not always what the ‘observer’ can immediately know and/or understand. I am personally guilty of sometimes making quick judgements of people, but I will try in future to always offer loving thoughts towards them instead. As with all the stories, the author has “Ignite Action Steps’ at the end to give help and advice to others going through similar situations. This is an additional benefit for the reader.
I feel that this book is going to be helpful for people of all ages to read, and it will be an easy choice of family Christmas presents this year!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Hollywood!
I am thrilled! From the first moment I read the first story, I was deeply moved. I felt captivated and could hardly put the book down. More touching and inspiring than any Hollywood movie!
This is a journey into worlds that really interest me. Not only do I get a glimpse of what happens behind our front doors, but in this book, I get to see firsthand what happens when people courageously reflect on themselves and transform what happens to them as destiny.
The openness with which these women and men talk about a challenging period of their lives makes me feel that I am not alone in my own painful experiences in the past.
What the world needs is exemplified here with every word: Vivid experiences and developmental journeys from real people and the reassurance that we can voluntarily grow from our experiences.
I would like to recommend this soulful book to everyone who is looking for answers on how wisdom can ignite in every day life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly inspiring collection of transformational stories!
This book is a real gem. It's a compilation of deeply moving, inspiring and life-changing stories of so ma,y wise men and women. I couldn't put it down as I began to read one story after another.
I resonated with all of them, even with those who talked about grief I hadn't experienced or parenthood, as I don't have children. They all touched my heart as I felt so much compassion for these beautiful people who have found a way to overcome some of life's toughest challenges.
I found Malissia Woodall's story about how to let go and let God especially relevant at this time of my life, and all of the author's shared so many precious lessons about how to surrender, be persistent, go for what we want, never settle for less than we deserve, which are so important and which I am applying to my life on a daily basis.
I love the fact that they each give Ignite your wisdom tips and actual steps one can take to change their lives for the better and get through hard times. Reading Ignite your wisdom was deeply fulfilling and I highly recommend this book to pretty much everyone as we all have stories to share and I am certain at least one, fi not all, of these will resonate with you too!
