Finding My Alpha: My Struggle to Self Empowerment

By Thea Reed

Finding my alpha expresses the conviction of one woman as she explicitly expresses the emotional turmoil, the sacrifices, and the love she shared with one man for twelve years of marriage.

Thea Reed is a first-time author who critically looks at the choices she made as an empowered woman before marriage and the shift in scales to a submissive beta wolf who did whatever she could to make her marriage work.

The book openly explores the belief systems of being an Indian female and the mental barriers faced in a journey to finding inner strength and the will to stand tallthe alpha wolf. Real-life events and incidents allow the reader to connect with her pain and identify with the number of boundaries Thea allowed to be crossed.

She gives insight into to the tools and support structures she put in place to build her mental and physical strength and bravely reflects on her shadow self.

Understanding the meaning of not giving in easily and fighting with every bit of your soul, this book brings a refreshing view of unconditional love and finding peace when all roads have been exhausted.

Thea Reed

Thea Reed, born in October 1979 in South African pursued a career in Information Systems. She moved from her home town after graduating at the University of Natal with her BCom degree to start her career as a consultant in technology. She soared in the business world as a woman with strength and confidence. Thea is a mother of two children. Her son age six and daughter age four became her strength and she hopes that one day they will understand the journey she had to take. Thea was always recognized for her ability to verbalize her raw emotions in poetry and speech but never dreamt of writing a book. This first time author reveals her heart and fears in this real life encounter of love. She took the leap to publish this book when, she realized that love doesn’t mean always being in pain. Her journey with the many tools she presents and the confidence of her friends is the reason she has published this work. Though not a qualified psychologist, her truth is a reflection of the truths she has heard before. She realized that the change in values, social systems and the natural hierarchy of female and male relationships as caused females to need more than the financial protection men are used to providing. She questions her own choices and describes her growth from a beta female into a strong hybrid.
