And, most of all, you will give yourself unbridled permission to live a TURNED ON LIFE …. a life where you no longer compromise or deny but instead a radiant life inspired from the heart of your soul-centered calling.
Reviews
Calling for a “new paradigm” for understanding what it means for women to achieve the most and find fulfillment, this spirited yet practical guide from Howard (author of Amazing Women Rise) offers a “soul-centered” guide for embracing one’s innate powers—and “deep wisdom that sits inside you waiting to be reignited”—as steps toward a “radiant, turned on life” and “becoming your most radiant self.” Howard makes the case that women are conditioned to see achievements from the outside-in, through the eyes of others or society, which feeds cycles of stress, overwork, and disappointment. “Radiant Achievement,” in contrast, comes from the inside, from deep knowledge of one’s own desires—from the “radiance” that Howard sees as inherent in all women, “a magnetic energy that draws people and opportunities to you.”

Radiant Achievement blends uplifting, at-times mystical self-help bromides (“Our inner voice connects us with our soul, and its messages guide us to live our purpose”) with clear, actionable steps for finding success, happiness, confidence, and more in life. Drawing on her own story of personal transformation, Howard encourages women to develop the “powers” that they already possess, like Inner Listening, Self Reflection, and the “full-body yes” of commitment, with a rousing emphasis on centering one’s own dreams rather than those of others—and doing so even when it’s uncomfortable. Howard urges readers to break from comfort zones, to embody their own self-worth, and perhaps most crucially escape old mindsets and patterns to achieve new things.

While terms like “soul” can be vague and some of the advice is familiar, Howard offers clear-eyed, pragmatic advice throughout for syncing up one’s values and drives with achievable ambition. Howard writes with nurturing warmth but also many focused exercises and a sure sense of the potent takeaway, that seed of truth that can perhaps, with care, grow into change. Readers looking for a brisk, heartening introduction to self-transformation will find much here that inspires.

Takeaway: Welcoming guide for igniting the self-transformational radiance of women.
