“I didn’t think there was anything
profoundly unique or interesting about my life that other
people would actually want to read. I’m not a famous
celebrity or a politician. I’m just like every other
woman out there trying to get through life one day at a time.
But after September 21, 2002, I started rethinking the uniqueness
of my life.”
It was on that day that Lisa J. Whaley watched her seemingly
perfect life unravel before her eyes. As a wife, mother, and
successful IBM executive, she had spent years trying to achieve
the kind of success that others expected from her and that
she demanded from herself. Yet, when she found herself dealing
with an out-of-control teenager who had entered a world of
sex, drugs, and alcohol, as well as a marriage collapsing
under the pressure, her own serious physical and emotional
illnesses, and much more, she experienced a level of despair
she never thought possible and ultimately considered the unthinkable.
In the disarmingly candid Reclaiming
My Soul From the Lost and Found, Whaley shares the
very personal journey that took her from great personal and
professional triumph to absolute anguish and her desperate
attempt to save her daughter’s – and her own –
life. She tells a cautionary tale for women who strive to
find the seamless balance between family and career and have
the epitome of a perfect life. For she was once the woman
who seemed to have it all – a loving marriage, two beautiful
children, a career on the fast track, a fine home, and a lifestyle
envied by many. But when the façade vanished, Lisa
Whaley faced “the perfect storm” and was left
to cope with the reality of her life.
In this book, Whaley reveals the decisions and actions that
not only led her to lose sight of her own soul, but that also
allowed her to heal and reclaim her spirit, her family, and
herself. She also shares the ten guiding principles to finding
synergy and harmony between life and work that she developed
years ago – principles that she disregarded for far
too long and, at last, has incorporated back into her life.
By exposing the trials and tribulations that she faced as
she built a family, climbed the corporate ladder, and dealt
with life’s unexpected challenges, Lisa Whaley hopes
that she can help others – women and men – reclaim
their own souls from the lost and found and find peace and
accord in their lives.
