Freedom to Blossom: An Invitation to Shine

By Brie Mathers

Freedom to Blossom is the true story of a young woman's coming of age. A colourful flight through disordered eating and into full bloom, the story whispers across the pangs of adolescence and grounds out in the wisdom that comes of committing to uprooting painful patterns and living our truth.

Woven by three central aspects, Compost, Growing Season, and Heart of Blossoming, Freedom to Blossom is a series of vignettes (blossom names) that details Brie's moment-to-moment movement through a body image crisis and out into the radiance of embodiment. Arcing beyond the "fear of fat" pattern so common in modern young women, the story offers living inspiration for young women to set themselves free from socio-cultural stereotypes and realize their inherent joy.

At the end, in a series of practical exercises, readers are invited to embark on their own passage of awareness and health through mindfulness practice and the precise engaging exercises that lead Brie to where she is today: flowering brightly.
