Table of Contents

Christy Rutherford is a leader of leaders, in every sense of the word. I first met Christy less than one year ago, at the event of one of our mutual heroes, Sharon Lechter (author of multiple best-seller books including Think and Grow Rich for Women). We became fast friends, and the common ground of our interests has grown substantially since then.

Christy is a stellar example of positive living and thinking. Her posts, her notes and her articles take the higher road and inspire others to a degree that when she occasionally takes a hard line stand in public, it is only after careful deliberations on the sensitivities of the people she addressesall of themwith the words that she says. That topic, in fact, became the theme of an article I wrote with and about Christy as one of my Entrepreneur Channel pieces for Forbes.

In the realm of executive leaders, Christy is a breath of fresh air. While some experts take great pains to exude the loftiness of their positions, Christy is unaffected. Her happiness and natural sense of completeness is not only evident, but infectious. She is a living example of the principles she teaches, to a degree that no self-consciousness about the gravitas of her image is required.

Clearly, Christy is well acquainted with the principles that she teaches. In her earlier 2016 book Shackled to Success she outlines the life path that led her to a soaring career, a high salary and material possessions. On that path, she experienced constant physical pain. Debilitated to the point that she almost required a wheelchair, she came to recognize the pain was of her own making, in a life that was filled with toxins such as terrible leaders, a negative work environment, and undigested anger that was literally eating her body and spirit alive.

In Shackled, she traced the path that allowed her to break away from the safety of her six-figure income to follow her personal dreams. In Heal Your Brokenness, Christy offers a step-by-step guidebook for the way others can recognize their sticking points, large or small, heal in the areas needed, and embark upon a very specific plan for success. In every chapter, Christy offers her personal experience and wisdom in a format that is immediately useful to others. Each chapter produces wisdom with the simplicity and breadth of a Jim Rohn, offered up in a lesson format that allows readers to convert their learning to immediate action at every step of the way.

Heal Your Brokenness is a book that is interesting in its entirety, but also meant to be digested in pieces. Over a period of time, readers should take the opportunity to digest every morsel, perhaps covering a chapter a week and using notes or reminders to practice each new principle day by day as they go.

Christys characteristic humor is present throughout her writing (Spiritual development cant be microwaved). You will come away from every chapter feeling as if youve just experienced a personal conversation with a trusted and personal friend. This is a book that I will treasure for many seasons to come.

Named one of the worlds Top 20 Business Thought Leaders to follow by Clearpoint Strategies in 2015.

Over four years ago, I had everything that I wanted and nothing that I needed. I had a successful six-figure career, national achievements, my dream car, a nice place filled with nice things and expensive artwork, and I traveled at least twice a month.

By societys standard of S-U-C-C-E-S-S, I had it all. However, with everything I had and all I achieved, I was a walking pin cushion with a hardened heart. My inner light that once shined as a beacon, bringing cheer and goodwill to all I encountered, faded and only glimmered on occasion.

My inner spirit was stirring around and wanted to break out of the walls that I placed around myself to protect me from the world that had put a whooping on me. There was a battle going on for my soul. The Lord of Light and the entity of darkness were both vying for my attention, and I came to a crossroads where I had to make a choice.

I looked good, smelled good and smiled, but all of that was a lie. It was a lie and I was an actress who deserved an Academy Award for pretending to be happy, while my soul howled to be turned loose and take precedence in my life again. I had so much inner turmoil and stress from my job, that I thought I was going to die. I chose the Lord of Light and resigned from my successful career and jumped off a cliff with blind faith that I would be okay. When I got out of the fire and away from people who were sucking the oxygen out of me, I was able to get a glimpse of how I created the negative environment I found myself in.

I discovered that regardless of how much I worked, how many books I read and audiobooks listened to, there was a wooing of my soul and spirit. They were calling me to reconnect on another level. God was calling me to BECOME who I was always meant to be in this world in order to serve others. I saw the vision long ago but got off track when I steered my career in a different direction.

The path was already laid out and the script was written, but I had to get back on the path and move towards my destiny. This process has been absolutely excruciating, yet exhilarating in rediscovering the person I buried long ago. She was buried behind walls that were guarded by vicious dogs, a 30-foot high barbed wire fence, and under a pile of broken bricks that once housed my reality. I had to dig her up and get busy!

There was someone I was meant to BECOME and a way that I wanted to FEEL. Hmmmm...a feeling. I was searching for the feeling that seemed elusive and the one that I thought high levels of success would bring. After achieving success and not feeling the way I thought it would feel, I was searching for another feeling wholeness . What does it FEEL like? Well, I wasnt exactly sure, but I knew that I would know it when I felt it again.
