    About this ebook

    Early life, painful experiences, and fear can shape our reality and perception of the world. Yet by discovering a safe space within ourselves to knock down the barriers we once built to protect ourselves from trauma and heartache, we can remove the veil of a painful past to find the golden thread leading to healing and our life's purpose and fulfillment.

    In an empowering narrative and guide to healing and personal development, Merja Sumiloff begins by chronicling her early childhood experiences as she discovered her first place of safety while sitting on a horse named Donut. As she provides insight into her unique journey from a frightened little girl to a global citizen, entrepreneur, and author, Merja reveals her secrets about self-awareness and how to turn trauma into an incredible superpower that leads to attaining a true destiny. Included are introspective questions that encourage other survivors to bravely face the shadows to gain the comforting knowledge that our greatest gifts to the world truly lie beneath our deepest wounds.

    Safe Spaces shares insight into one woman’s journey as she relied on practical tools and awareness to overcome childhood trauma to find purpose through self-discovery.
