Part 1: Burning Shame; Part 2: Burning Bridges; Part 3: Rising Phoenix
Jacqui Burnett is an adventurer - both in journeys of the Spirit and in the world of financial strategy. Raised in South Africa, she is qualified in business studies, which has enabled her to help numerous businesses achieve their strategic and financial goals. However, Jacqui has always pursued a parallel interest in spirituality, which has guided her into her writing career. Inspired by her discoveries on her own personal journey, Jacqui has created a successful platform called The Dare to Be Love Journey, which has attracted an audience of over 40 000 followers. Here, she shares her inspirational thoughts, poetry and personal life stories told through the lens of her unique Dare to Be Love self-development practices. Jacqui wrote her memoir in a quest to make spiritual sense of the traumatic life events she has experienced. Jacqui lives in Cape Town, South Africa. As an impassioned student of life, Jacqui continues to practise and promote living a Spirit-led life of courage, kindness, compassion and love. Her beloved Russian Blue cat, Sophie, is a constant source of joy and inspiration. Jacqui has a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of South Africa in Industrial Psychology and Economics, and a MBA from the University of Witwatersrand, including a semester abroad at Rotterdam School of Management (RSM) Erasmus. Jacqui is also a certified Integral Coach through New Ventures West, and trained as a yoga teacher with Yoga Tree, acquiring both these certifications in San Francisco, California. This memoir, Life's Not Yoga, is Jacqui's first published book.
"What I found amazing about Life's Not Yoga, is that many people
write a memoir and tend to sugarcoat their role in the story, while
painting other people with a bit of a tar brush. Jacqui Burnett
does not do this and is open and honest about the times in her life
when she does not come across looking so great." -
Janice Leibowitz - 101.9 ChaiFM "Life's
Not Yoga bounces between stream-of-consciousness and the
exasperation of 'moving-on' and honest to goodness declarations of
frustration at her own life choices. Burnett opens to her readers
in the most admirable and courageous of ways, and I would be remiss
as an empathetic reader if I did not acknowledge how difficult that
must have been. Jacqui Burnett is a superb storyteller. Her life
has not been easy, and it is an honor to read the prose of an
incessantly curious and deeply courageous human being who seems to
have made a lot of sacrifices to pursue her dreams. -
Meg Orton, For the Love of
MEG Book Reviews
"Some people travel to India to find themselves, others to the USA!
Life's Not Yoga is a compelling UPLIFTING must-read memoir. Through
her story Jacqui Burnett shows us how to stay present in the face
of our pain and fear, to overcome anxiety, heal our inner child and
build a brighter future." - Natasha Dom,
