But before we tell you how to enter, below we’ve shared a bit more about Beth’s fabulous book and what you’ll find inside.


About Freedom Seeker

Freedom Seeker is Beth’s personal story about how she went from a high-spirited, risk-taking adventurer to a grown-up, settled-down, stressed-out mother, wife, and business owner; before she realized that the life she had built was actually suffocating her. She discovered she was far from alone, finding women everywhere feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, exhausted, disconnected, and sad. So she set out to change it, and FREEDOM SEEKER is the result.

It’s full of personal stories from not only Beth, but many other brave and inspiring people, including Art and Business of Surface Pattern design graduate Emma McGowan who shares her story of building her design business. It also hosts a wealth of original, transformational tools to show you how to make the most of this extraordinary time where technology offers new ways to live, work, learn, and connect with each other. It’s a very current manual for living more and worrying less, which will enable Freedom Seekers everywhere to choose the life they want, be happy, and feel free.

Ultimately, FREEDOM SEEKER will help inspire you to follow your dreams and carve out the creative life you desire. It will probably change your life.
