From an early age we're taught that in order to be worthy, to find true happiness, to be "somebody," we have to accomplish many things. We become achievement machines, always grasping for the next big win to send a signal to the world—and to ourselves—that we've "made it." That we are happy. But do we ever "make it," really? Are we truly happy not in the "#livingmybestlife" and "#blessed" way in which we caption our social media pages, but from a truly contented place of inner peace and joy? One where the yearning for the bigger house, the better job, takes a backseat to the yearnings of our hearts and souls, a place where contentment just "is"?

We're often told to follow our heart; that fragile, fickle organ at the center of our physical being. What's really meant by that idiom is to follow our soul; that all-knowing, ever-wise space within all of us. But most people have been disconnected from their souls for so long, they have no idea where to find it . . . let alone how to follow it.

Free to Be is a simple six-week process of liberating your soul. With easy-to-digest daily exercises, it will lead you toward a life of deep fulfillment and lasting contentment. (That is, if you let it!) If you were given a guide that could reset your life—rewrite your story—right here and now, would you? If your answer is yes, let's begin.

Shirin Etessam is an entrepreneur, seasoned media executive, public speaker, and spiritual teacher. She has produced films, original television series and specials, created several companies, and led campaigns for some of the world's most recognized companies (ABC, CBS, Discovery, BBC, Facebook, Apple, Intel, Virgin, and many more). A proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Shirin founded OML TV, a popular platform dedicated to streaming and curating quality, queer female, video content and Thornbyrd Films, a female led production company telling diverse female stories through a vast spectrum of film and television genres. Today, Shirin guides seekers in her six-week program, Free to Be, to disconnect their human "being" from their human "doing." She lives in Marin County, California, with her wife and two children.
