From Despair to Divine Guidance: The Story Behind My Two New Books
Episode 95 - Spiritual Awakening with Shaz
These two books may look very different, but they tell two sides of the same story. One is about the life I lived, and the other is about the spiritual support that helped me find my way through it.
In this episode, I share why I am launching My Soul Activated: From Despair to a Life by Design and Journeys with the Archangels: A Practical Guide together, and why separating them never really made sense.
I talk about the loss, trauma, grief and physical symptoms that pushed me to question my life, the relationship with my Nan that changed how I saw myself, and how learning to ask for help from the Archangels became part of rebuilding my life.
This isn't an episode about everything that went wrong. It is about what happened afterwards. How I stopped allowing the past to define me, found my voice, learned what was mine to carry and began creating a life that actually felt like mine.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why My Soul Activated and Journeys with the Archangels belong together
- How grief, trauma and complex PTSD affected my body
- The question that helped me stop carrying emotions and burdens that weren't mine
- Why surviving something does not mean it needs to define the rest of your life
- How losing my Nan became one of the biggest turning points in my awakening
- What reconnecting with my Nan taught me about forgiveness, family and my own worth
- Why I was already spiritually connected long before trauma entered my life
- How tarot helped me recognise and trust my intuitive abilities
- The role the Archangels have played throughout my healing and spiritual development
- Why you do not need to be psychic, religious or experienced in meditation to ask the Archangels for help
- How Journeys with the Archangels became a practical guide rather than simply another book about angels
- Why Archangels can guide and support you, but cannot walk your path for you
- What is included in the book presale packages and why I wanted to create something special for the people supporting the launch
- Why both books officially launch on 11 November 2026
- How supporting an author during a presale or crowdfunding campaign helps bring the work into the world
Highlights from this episode
I share the story of the physical spasms that appeared after my Nan's death and the psychiatrist who helped me understand the effect complex PTSD was having on my body.
I also talk about discovering the truth behind my relationship with my Nan and how knowing that she had wanted me completely changed the childhood belief that I had always been unwanted.
You'll hear how my intuitive abilities became impossible to ignore through tarot readings and predictions, and why learning to understand where that information came from eventually led me into a much deeper relationship with the Archangels.
I also take you behind the scenes of the two-book launch, including the Archangel journal, crystal packs, activation meditation, readings and the presale packages I have created for the people choosing to support these books before they are released.
These books represent a full-circle moment for me.
I grew up hiding what I knew and questioning who I was. Today I can share my story, my spiritual experiences and what I have learned without asking permission to be who I am.
Join the Presale and Help Bring These Books Into the World
These books have taken years of life, healing, spiritual connection and courage to bring together.
If My Soul Activated or Journeys with the Archangels speaks to you, joining the presale is one of the most meaningful ways you can support this next chapter.
Your support helps me bring the books, journals, crystals, packaging and everything surrounding this launch into physical form. More than that, you become part of the beginning of something I believe is meant to help people feel less alone, more connected and more supported in their own journey.
I have created special presale packages for those who want to be part of this with me, including options with the books, Archangel crystals, the companion journal, meditation and other extras depending on the package you choose.
If you feel called to support the launch, you can explore the presale options here:
Thank you to every person who has encouraged me, shared the journey, pre-ordered, spoken about the books or simply believed in what I am creating.
I do not take that support lightly.
These books are deeply personal to me, and knowing they will soon be sitting in the hands of people who need them means more than I can properly put into words.
