Success story: How to live the life your soul intended Therèse Tappouni –
In Tappouni’s new book, “The Promise: Revealing the Purpose of Your Soul,” she is unhappy after the end of her 36-year marriage and the death of her son, but she uses tragedy to turn her life around and discovers that true fulfillment is not found by attaining wealth or possessions, but by discovering and fulfilling your life’s purpose. “The Promise” describes how each person, before they are even born, makes a commitment or promise to themselves that they will do their best to fulfill their individual destiny in life. It is only by discovering this purpose that we can ever truly live our lives to the fullest.

She also teaches workshops to professional women on recovering the passion that led them into their work or relationships, and discovering the energy of life passages such as menopause.
She has served on many boards and committees, including The YMCA Writer’s Voice, The School Community Council of Teacher Corps, the local chapter of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and The Chopra Foundation.

Hello,
I enjoyed the show very much!
I am curious… when you are having your totally nude massage - do you have a towel over you or are you all out there for the universe to gaze at? That would be an awful big step to take - I tip my hat to you!
i am just now learning that I can listen to my inner guide and know that it is OK… I still get anxiety about it because I have been doing a tremendous amount of stretching outside my comfort zone and afterwards I start questioning myself about it.
I’m so thankful for people like you that are coming forward and doing the work they need to do in order to help others heal and move forward.
Sincerely,
Delores Chappel
Thank you so much for this fantastic episode! I really appreciated hearing Therese’s story – it was very inspiring and I am really looking forward to reading her book.
Also, I wanted to mention how much I appreciated Rebekah’s comments about growing up Baptist and always feeling like something wasn’t quite right in the practice of that one specific religion and that now you kind of take pieces of many different religions – the pieces that “feel right” – and practice more spirituality than religion. I have gone through an almost identical situation with religion and spirituality, but most people have a hard time understanding how I can be spiritual without identifying with any one religion or how I can still be a “Christian” if I also incorporate pieces of other religions such as Wicca, Buddhism, Muslim, Taoism, etc. I’ve never heard anyone else discuss this issue before, and I cannot even begin to describe how much of a relief it is to know that I’m not alone in my beliefs and that there ARE other people out there who “get it.”
Thanks once again for this amazing episode, and I will most certainly be doing another plug for “Heal Yourself Talk Radio” on my podcast this week!
