Evolving from the Roots: The Magic in the Work

When we are rooted, and open, those tools come to us, like magic. Except it’s not. It’s the work.

Cindy spent a lifetime bulldozing her way through and working hard at, well, everything. That is, except the work that matters: the work of mental health. In a collection of essays chronicling her continued journey, she shares snippets of her life growing up on a recreational farm next door to her grandparents and then as a mother, wife, academic, and runner turned yogi. Each story on her journey tells how she has been evolving over the past decade. She just needed the courage to tend and water some roots that never left her, even when she neglected them for a time.

Reflecting on her 50 years of toggling between living life at breakneck speeds to finally surrendering to what she calls the real work, Evolving at the Roots shares how Cindy is learning to slow down, build her toolbox, and find the magic that exists in a rooted, continuously evolving life. Cindy hopes others can find some peace in her words and magic in their lives as they reach down deep and find the courage to do their own work, whatever that looks like.

Cindy is a wife and mom who loves cooking wholesome food, reading good books, traveling, and being in the woods or near the water with her husband and children. She is the Lead Writing Coach for Synergy Publishing Group and a yoga instructor, both occupations that tap into her super power of helping people love on themselves. Sometimes she even follows her own best advice.Connect with Cindy at cindyurbanski.com, on Instagram at cindy_d_urbanski, or email her at cindy@cindyurbanski.com
