The Rise: An Unforgettable Journey of Self-Love, Forgiveness, and Transformation

by Danette May

Overview

Popular health and fitness expert Danette May delves deep into your soul's calling to unlock the tools to help you manifest your heart's deepest desire.

After the tragic loss of her son and a marriage that ended in divorce and near-bankruptcy, world-renowned health and transformation expert Danette May found her life in shambles. But when her support seemed to come from few and her options seemed the most far between, she began to hear a voice inside her telling her it was time.

May never predicted that her journey would take her into a world bikini competition, to a sacred healer in Costa Rica, or through a process of heart-wrenching forgiveness. And she definitely didn't know it would lead to establishing her own international business, touching the lives of millions of people around the world. Yet it was her soul's calling that led her there.

With raw honesty and shocking vulnerability, May shares her own radical truth and insights of self-love and forgiveness to help you manifest the fullest expression of yourself. She distills the essence of sparking your own transformation and guides you through the small daily "hinges" that will open life's doors for you.

The time has come for you to connect with your greatest self. The time has come for you to rise.
