About this listen

From addiction recovery to divorce, yoga studios to psychic readings, this raw and inspiring memoir follows one woman's quest for inner peace across three continents. When her marriage crumbles, former wellness instructor Kirchner faces her deepest fears: relapse, family trauma, and losing faith in life itself. Her journey through meditation retreats, Manhattan spirituality, and an unexpected encounter with an Indian guru challenges everything she thought she knew about healing.

Of her writing, an NPR interviewer said, it's like Eat, Pray, Love, but funny.

It is a rare, true, and beautiful thing to watch someone transform on the page, raves Linden Review, praising Kirchner's evolution from ruthlessly cynical, to reluctantly open, to something resembling 'healed.'

Kirkus Reviews highlights her self-aware and humble voice, noting how she effectively punctuates troubled personal history with the wisdom of mentors.

Foreword Reviews calls it an entertaining memoir about how preoccupations with the 'meaning of life' obscure everyday appreciation, examining privilege, cultural appropriation, and the universal search for belonging.

  • Themes: Recovery, Healing, Personal Growth, Wellness
  • Perfect for listeners of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love and Cheryl Strayed's Wild
  • Ideal for those navigating difficult life transitions through modern wellness culture, whether it's to attain spiritual growth or just a second date
