What if you had an internal compass that could provide direction at every turning point in your life?
The Saint and the Drunk – A Guide to Making the Big Decisions in Your Life shows people how to build a practice of intentional decision making.

Everyone has access to reconnect to their authentic calling. But for many that access has been obscured by cultural or familial narratives, trauma or grief. This is a practical book that considers the very real responsibilities most people have. The exercises and writing prompts help to reach that deep knowing within people so that they can build a life that is congruent with their values while moving closer to their dreams.
The author shares her deeply moving personal journey that successfully affirms that the discernment process outlined in this book can help anyone, no matter their circumstance, to make even the most difficult decisions in their lives.
The Saint and the Drunk – A Guide to Making the Big Decisions In Your Life shows how to use ancient spiritual tools with a modern, spiritual-but-not-religious approach to:

  • make major life decisions with intention and clarity
  • use exercises and writing prompts to help identify cultural and familial narratives that can support or limit
  • clarify values and dreams
  • demonstrate how to honor resistance
  • deal with the impact of grief and trauma on decision making
