Spiritual Life Coaching

This is not a simple book; it is a touchstone for healing. — Monty

I plan to think about your book and read it again to pick up what I did not the first time. Thank you for writing it. It is one of a kind. — SC

I continue to refer back to your book and re-read passages and quotes that really stood out for me for a sense of reassurance and peace I cannot tell you how much your book has helped me! — SV

I just recently went through a very harsh break-up and was completely shattered to pieces. My mom, not quite sure what to do with me, gave me your book, Thank You for Leaving Me, and told me to read it. I was shocked at how my emotions seemed to completely mirror what you had gone through! — SV

I found so much peace and strength while reading your book; in essence, a whole new perspective on my situation. It completely moved me to tears at so many parts because I had numerous "ah-hah!" moments and moments when I was sitting there in awe thinking "This is ME!" — SV

Farhana Dhalla opens her heart and shares her feelings in a way that gives us permission to feel, contemplate and make decisions regarding our own challenges. Her insights serve as inspiration to awaken ourselves to greater personal power and self-awareness!” — Rosalind Sedacca, CCT The Voice of Child-Centered Divorce Author: How Do I Tell the Kids about the Divorce?

This book truly touched me. After reading her book, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Farhana, and she truly walks the walk. As her book shows, she knows that perfection is not the goal, seeks truth, feels into her own heart, honours the hearts of others, and practices love as a daily devotion. Her authenticity is a consistent practice, and her genuine enthusiasm for the lusciousness and messiness of life is inspiring. — Lisa Kathleen, Full Circle Parenting

Knowing I'm not totally alone in what I have gone through and still going through gives me a sense of comfort - so thank you! — Barbara

Farhana courageously write about her experience moving through a challenging, difficult, and potentially dark situation. She inspires the reader to delve deep into personal responsibility, self-awareness, and genuine transformation. This book does a magnificent job of lighting the way to a life filled with freedom, love, and truth. — Gemma Stone, Psychologist, Speaker, Author

The book is simple, no esoteric terms used, but touches one’s heart, mine indeed. — Feli

Farhana's words spoke to me on a level that I very seldom let get effected. I pretend, yes pretend, that I have this hard shell that nobody can break. Maybe I'm at that stage in my life, my relationship where I was waiting for someone to get to me. Farhana did and for that, I thank her. — Jenna

I Adore, Adore, Adore the awareness and inspiration in Farhana's writing. I particularly appreciate section 59, starting page 88. Considering another point of view or perspective. This story is about people and life - it applies everywhere. It is about knowing and getting to know yourself and your partner. Owning your role in what happens in your Life. — Jennifer Palmer Cockton

Farhana's book is the gift of her total honesty on the way to going deep within to find her real self - a boon to anybody wanting to turn lemons into lemonade. — MK

Thank you so much! I have so many goals now for how I would like to approach this experience, what I would like to gain from it, how I want to reinvent myself, and how I am going to make the most of this break-up because it's time to "Choose me"! — SV

I just finished reading it in one sitting. I felt as though I was eating the words of the page, starved for more with each page. I am a bit stunned and in awe at the beauty and honesty with which you described your experience. — FJ

I was immersed in reading your book!! 2 hours and I'm almost done - I have devoured it - it is incredible! — Colette Kenney, Host of LOVE TALK

The overwhelming response to your book reiterates the age old message of the spiritual Gurus that Ecstacy and Agony, Love and Compassion, tears and laughter are human currencies felt and experienced by every human being on earth irrespective of cast, colour, race or geographical location. History will record your contribution in that light. — NMK

I have already read it (this is HUGE for me…it takes me the better part of a year to read a book). I loved it. I was absolutely ready to read it. I couldn’t believe how validated I felt: someone in this world shared a similar experience, shared similar feelings and was real about it — SC

Wow! I am not a big reader, but this is one of those cannot put down reads. — SL

One of the very few books that I completed through in one sitting and one that I would go through again. Your clarity of thought and how to look at situations as challenges and not blame the other party is a big message to all. Thanks and keep up the good work and you certainly need to get this message across to more and more people. — Mahmood

It felt a bit like reading my own autobiography. There are so many similarities! When you are going through it yourself, you feel no one else could possibly feel your pain. — SV

This book was amazing. The lessons learned can be applied to any situation in life where the universe has created an opportunity to move forward when we are not wanting to take the leap of faith and do it ourselves. Farhana's amazing ability to distill the lessons and present them in a way we can relate to creates an amazing resource for anyone wanting to make shifts in their lives. — Ariana Brackenbury

Just wanted to let you know that I finished your book this past Sunday - in one sitting ! I loved it and wanted to thank you for writing such an incredible account of your personal journey. Although I am a happily married mom of two your book taught me so much about my own life and my own personal journey up to this point — RS

Beautifully written! Her honesty leaps off of the page and into your heart! A must read for anyone who wants to make a breakdown into a breakthrough — Shelina

I found it gripping to read and it made me see the whole situation from a different perspective. — DM

Some parts left me shaking with grief and the raw honesty of deeply feeling what you had written. Other parts touched my heart and put a huge grin on my face. I felt like a ball in a pinball machine, bouncing from wanting my husband, parents, married and divorced girlfriends and even my eldest son to read it because you so eloquently and truthfully penned your awakening. — FJ

I stayed up and read your book in one sitting. You are a gifted writer and through your journey you gave me hope and inspiration. You are a special soul. Going through a similar experience, your book provided me with clarity and words for my emotions. — GA

Your choice of words to express your emotions at that time and life lessons learnt were amazing. You also have an incredible ability to get away from being a victim. This book is indeed inspirational to anyone going through any turmoil, not solely a marriage breakdown. — SD

I find the truths you write as resonant to me as if they are written specifically for me. — Scott

Truly inspiring, real, and unlike anything I've ever read before! This book resonates with any woman who needs healing, as it resonates with pillars of sincerity and empathy. — Karen

Once I started reading your book, I could not put it down... to say this experience has been healing, releasing, uplifting and intensely gratifying are understatements — SB

You've probably heard this before but you are a brilliant writer! As I am reading, I have found myself nodding my head, laughing and sometimes profoundly caught off guard by a tear or two...your honesty has captivated me. — Barb Benkie

I finished your book a little while back and all I can say is thank you for sharing your heart & soul with me. Your words were comforting in a difficult period of loss. I am so grateful for you, sister — Ariana Hall, Singer/Songwriter

I read your book - Once I started it and could not put it down. The writing is amazing. — SS

I have not laughed and cried so much over a single book since reading Elisabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. I adore this book. Farhana Dhalla is straight from the heart! — Teresa de Grosbois, Founder of The Evolutionary Business Council Bestselling Author

I am glad someone finally had the courage to write a book that doesn't gloss over the raw emotion of divorce. As a survivor (and thriver) of a divorce myself, I wish I could have read a book like this on those lonely nights when there was no one to talk to. — Valerie Simard

LOVED IT! I could relate to everything you were talking about, felt like I was you. So real, so honest, and so forgiving. — AS

I just read your book and as always I am amazed at your strength of character. You are one of the most authentic people I have ever met and I greatly respect your ability to live your message especially as an example for your children — JBD

This book was my selection for my time away on maternity leave. It may sound like a strange selection to read at a very vulnerable, special time but i was drawn to it. It was exactly what i was seeking. i got strength and courage and hope from it and when you are starting a new life - those are the same things you want to believe in for the baby. thank you! — Shotsie

Your writing style moved me because you are so real. — Sue Choi

You have a depth of insight which is quite astonishing for one so relatively young, and I can only envy and admire the way you are handling your circumstances - whilst at the same time, developing your own unique and life-enhancing philosophy - and wish that I had had such a gift myself when it was sorely needed — Juliet Eastman

Initially I thought this was another book from a woman writing her frustrations and anger from her breakup in the marriage. But the more I read the more I got engaged and absorbed and at the end , it was somewhat emotional to me that I had a hard time controlling my tears. — Dr MB

I thought all of these feelings I am going through I was alone. I thought no one understood how I felt so I kept all of these feelings bottled up with no one to discuss them with. But just knowing it is a natural feeling makes me feel a lot better — RG

It was as though I had picked up Farhana's diary from her nightstand. I was continually in awe of Farhana's patience and surrender to the "Will" of the Universe. This book is a definite testimony to that surrender without arrogance or overbearance. A true joy to read! — Salima

LITTLE did I know or realize what a tremendous impact your book would have on me personally - it feels like my heart opening up more and more and more as blockages are released and my heart feels lighter — SB

Your book was such an easy read and I think the raw, candid approach is what really drew me in because it was easy for me to identify with you in a genuine way - absolutely magnificent! — SV

It really could not have come at a better time for me and really helped me to understand the feelings I have been having over the last two years. It has also helped me to put into perspective the emotions of my daughters. — EM

Farhana - I loved reading your book. You are brutally honest in your expression in writing. — Anis Anjani

This is a book which will require more than one reading, as there is so much wisdom buried in it that only time will be able to encompass it all. — Juliet Eastman

I really enjoyed the style and format in which the book was written. It was a great read; I've recommended it to others. Thank you for exemplifying that we are always 100% responsible; there are no victims here and that blame is a concept that doesn't resonate when we live in our truth. — David

There were a couple of times on the bus I had to stop reading your book so I didn't start to cry. Thank you so much for sharing your journey of love, pain, sorrow, & everything in between of the self discovery that comes along with such life lesson. You laid yourself open and let the rest of us feel & see it through your heart and soul. We saw how a painful experience can also bring such awareness & growth. Thank you — Ronda Enns

Fresh, easy reading, brutally honest self-enlightenment, and a wonderful resource for all walks of life. Lovely work Farhana — GD

Farhana, your book is full of so much wisdom! I had a hard time putting it down. I am in a happy, fulfilling relationship now, but had three tough breakups in my early adult years. I still had a lot of healing to do and your book helped to remind me that everything works together for our greatest good:) Thank you so much for acting as a conduit for the expression of God's Love, Wisdom, and Healing Power. — Joe Countryman, Co-Founder LJ Empowerment

Thank you for this touching book. My sister insisted I read it while I was going through my divorce and it really brought a new perspective to the way in which I saw my struggles. I have asked that my wife read it too! — Paul

I read your book, Thank You for Leaving Me and wanted to express my admiration for your amazingly open and authentic sharing of your process. I believe it will be of tremendous value for women and men dissolving and recreating themselves. — Dr David Simon, CEO and Medical Director, CHOPRA CENTER

The book is beautiful - not only does it teach you to to strive for deeper understanding of oneself but it feels that by reading the book - u are on that path. The book is easy to read and entertaining- it teaches and is insightful without being "heavy". — SK
