True Essence

Finding your authentic self without compromise.

As women we take on many roles throughout our life.

We are the daughter, the sister, the mother, the partner, the nurturer, the carer, the people pleaser and a million and one other titles that are bestowed upon us. We take on these roles because of our beliefs, upbringing and society’s expectations of what a Woman should be.

What if instead we stepped out from behind these roles to find out what brings us joy and who we really are?

A health care scare in a car park led me to ask myself these very questions.

I began a journey of discovery to see what mattered in my life, what values to hold on to and what beliefs and behaviours I could let go of.

This led me to find not only a deeper joy in life, but a recognition of my authentic self, my true essence.

“This book touched my heart. I have a hard time expressing myself, for many of these same reasons. I could easily find themselves in your own stories.”

“True Essence, Finding your authentic self without compromise, by Judy Newbery, is the book that helped me “get unstuck and rethink how I want to live my life.” I was very excited when I heard Judy’s book was in print. When the book arrived in the mail, I couldn’t put it down. I found Judy’s writing to be very engaging and heartfelt. After almost half way through, I put the book down. I decided this wasn’t a book I wanted to rush through. I decided to find times to be alone….sitting in a cozy chair in the bedroom, on the deck of a boat at sea or on the bench outside my apartment on a warm sunny day. I wanted to absorb her words, ponder what the title “finding your authentic self without compromised” meant to her and now to me. I needed to be reminded about setting limits when asked to meet up with someone when I was tired, depleted from work. I appreciated Judy’s words about self-care….I am good at encouraging others to take care of themselves….can I encourage myself? Through sharing stories of her life, difficult times as well as joyful times, she offers her reflections on how she navigated times of self-doubt, learned to set boundaries, learned to forgive others…and HERself. I appreciated her questions to her readers, “How can you lose yourself?” “Have you given up everything for your profession?” “At what cost?” I appreciate her words of wisdom on how to manage the best we can in a society that is ever changing. I keep Judy’s book on my bedside table, it is there for me to open and read at the end of the day or shortly after waking up so I can be reminded of being present for others and for MYself.”

“Highly recommend, what a fantastic read and a profound perspective on women's defined roles in society. You compellingly illustrate how, once these societal expectations are discarded, a remarkable evolution can occur. well done Judy!!”

Maree Cruden

“True Essence is a gorgeous combination of personal stories and guidance for anyone who feels they are hiding or denying their authentic self. I'm so grateful that Judy has shared this book with us - her writing is insightful, personal, inspiring, and helpful. This is a gorgeous read for a quiet weekend, or any time you want to block out the noise of a busy life and connect with yourself and your heart.”

Tash Corbin – Business Mentor

“Have just read “True Essence” by Judy Newbery and found it to be a highly engaging and a very interesting read. Judy shares her personal story as a child of a migrant family growing up in Australia and her subsequent journey of self-discovery and empowerment. In doing so, she also shares many life lessons that encourage reflection and change- particularly as women who often take on multiple roles simultaneously in line with societal and cultural expectations. Highly recommend this book!”

“Judy, this was such a lovely book about how to find your authentic self and how you did. I loved the topics you shared and wrote about. A lot of them I related to and felt myself nodding. A delightful read. Thank you.”

Chantal

“A wonderful book. Every woman needs to read it. Such heartfelt writing. Have purchased many copies to give as presents to friends."

Trish

“Reading this book I realised how many of us walked similar steps and shared the same experiences as Judy; how we “became” who we are today based on the influences of parents teachers religion friends from childhood…. A raw and emotional account of our journeys as women and our quest to find or true selves and inner essence later in life … couldn’t put this book down.”

Janilla
