She fights past fear, loneliness and judgment to end her inner pain that has haunted her for years, and finds inner peace. Along her path she realizes how life is a spiritual journey and there is a lesson to be learned with every experience, personal encounter and relationship. Mondor is sharing her inspiring story in the highly anticipated memoir \u201cHOW IN THE HELL DID I GET HERE? Forever Changing the Genetic Blueprint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHOW IN THE HELL DID I GET HERE? Forever Changing the Genetic Blueprint\u201d (Tellwell Publishing, March, 2022), takes readers through Mondor\u2019s rehab and recovery journey and showcases how important it is to have a relationship with yourself, that you have the power to change everything, and it all comes from within.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve learned that there is nothing more powerful than the strength that I have inside me and EVERYTHING starts there. I am the only one in control of my life. I make all the decisions. By facing my fears and being truthful of who I am, my past, accepting all my good and bad qualities, I\u2019ve learned to love myself and then I started to heal. This was the most powerful thing I have ever experienced and it has changed my life forever. For the first time in my life, I have complete clarity of who I am, where I am going and what my life purpose is,\u201d said Mondor when reflecting on her experience. \u201cI hope that my readers will look at their own life story and be able to relate to what I am saying and make the right decisions for themselves in their own lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not a victim, but a survivor, Mondor reclaimed her power after years of trauma, substance abuse and poor relationships. She now has four beautiful children, a husband and a successful career sharing her story as an inspirational speaker and now as a published author.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to writing and speaking engagements, Mondor has created a brand with the motto \u201cFear Fighter\u201d. It is no surprise that Mondor and her Fear Fighter brand thrive off of promoting living a positive, fearless and powerful lifestyle. \u201cI have dedicated my life to teaching people through my own experiences about addiction about how to find their power within. I speak in depth on how I tackled my fears and what I learned throughout my journey\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Shannan Mondor and \u201cHOW IN THE HELL DID I GET HERE?
