Some stories are so quietly powerful that they stay with you long after you finish reading. This first chapter from Journeys Beyond and Within is one of those stories.

It’s a beautiful reminder that personal growth often begins long before we realise it, sometimes in the smallest moments of childhood, in the places where we first felt limited, curious or quietly determined.

If you’d love something uplifting and deeply human to read today, you can open the sample chapter below.

As you journey through the chapter, you’ll watch a young girl discover the earliest sparks of independence inside a world that kept trying to shrink her. It’s the kind of story that gently nudges you to notice where your own strength was born and why it has never really left you.

Priyanka’s writing is simple, vivid and filled with those tiny life details that make you pause and reflect on your own beginnings. If the chapter speaks to you, as I think it will, here’s the link again to read it now.


Step into a life changing journey of self-belief


What I love most about this chapter is how naturally it bridges childhood innocence with the early stirrings of courage. You can feel the gradual shift, from being told who she must be, to quietly choosing who she will become. That turning point is what makes the full book so worth diving into.

When you're ready for a read that inspires courage, curiosity and a gentle reclaiming of your own story, you can open the sample at this next link.


Unlock the surprising wisdom inside this unforgettable chapter


The full book continues her journey into self-trust and bravery in ways that feel relatable no matter where you are in your own life.

Stories like this don’t just entertain, they reconnect you with something you may have forgotten about yourself. If you’ve been craving a reminder that your beginnings matter, this is the perfect place to start.

Give yourself a few quiet minutes with the chapter. You may find yourself seeing parts of your own story more clearly.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
