The Unexpected Story: Stepping Beyond What You Thought Was Possible

$24.95

Description

Once upon a time, you had a story that was wild, radiant, and utterly your own.

But somewhere along the way—between the roles you were handed and the rules you were taught—you began living inside a story that no longer fits. And at some point, you may have found yourself wondering: How did I get here?

In The Unexpected Story, Shannon Presson blends mythic storytelling with insight that quietly rearranges the map you’ve been following. Through the journey of Lumina and four guiding stories—the Challenge Story, the Dream Story, the “Yeah, but…” Story, and the one you never saw coming—you’ll begin to recognize the narratives that have been running you all along.

You were never broken. You were simply navigating with outdated maps. You haven’t lost the path. You’ve just wandered a little.

This book is a lantern to help guide you back.

The next chapter begins with you.

About the author

Shannon Presson is a writer, artist, and guide whose work explores the hidden stories that shape our lives. After decades studying personal growth, symbolism, NLP and Human Design—and navigating several unexpected stories of her own—she came to recognize a simple truth: many of our struggles begin when we outgrow the identities that once kept us safe. The Unexpected Story grew from her lifelong fascination with meaning, imagination, and the quiet moments when life leads us somewhere we never planned to go. Shannon lives in Hailey, Idaho, with her husband, David, and a cranky dog who constantly reminds her that curiosity, wonder, and a willingness to question old maps can change a life in ways effort alone never could.
