Le Guin as an “author who will enlarge humanity.” A Pulitzer Prize nominee, her work has garnered multiple awards.

“We started out crafting this book to help others. In the process, the book, helped me, my family and friends. We were all going through things that were out of the ordinary, and sometimes traumatic,” says Siegel.

This is Renée’s third book, others are “Lost and Found” and “Considering the Enneagram.” Renée is currently writing her first children’s book, hopefully to be released sometime next year!
“You may find yourself wondering if you have challenges, stress, and/or trauma in your life. Hopefully, after we meet you will be able to distinguish what the differences are and come away with some ideas and coping strategies for 2023,” says Siegel.

“Reclaiming YOU” is filled with information to help you better understand trauma. Real people gave permission to the authors to share their stories, including their resilience. Finally, Renee and her co-author compiled several strategies people use to manage and move through trauma based on their personality type.
