She’s been open about her battle with imposter syndrome.

But there can be no mistaking Cork-based author Samantha Lynch’s latest success; her book, The Awakened Warrior Toolkit, has become a global bestseller overnight.

The collaborative guidebook went straight in at number one on the Amazon bestseller charts in over eight categories, including Women’s Spirituality, Personal Transformation and New Age, and charted at number nine in all global non-fiction listings.

It’s also at number eight in the Mind, Body & Soul category alongside UK TV presenter Davina McCall and James Clear’s Atomic Habits.

Together with her coach, Carol-Ann Reid, Samantha, who lives in Midleton, includes contributions from professionals, coaches, teachers, and leaders in the corporate space, as well as holistic and spiritual healers, in a bid to inspire others to find their true-life paths.

A Global Sales Learning Leader & Coach, as well as Mental Health First Aider and a volunteer mentor to women looking to develop their career or their business, Samantha overcame her own mental health challenges.

Within her chapter, ‘Aligning to a Life that Lights You Up!’, Sam shares; “Prior to this transformation, I would come across as positive, on my game and successful. Yet inside I would be riddled with self-doubt for starters, a fear of failure as the main course, and a massive bowl of imposter syndrome for dessert.

“Knowing what I know now about our mind-body connection, it’s no wonder I was walking around with permanent heartburn and indigestion!”

To celebrate the launch of the book (copies of The Awakened Warrior Toolkit, €12.99 can be purchased here) Sam will be hosting an Awakened Warrior Book Launch on Saturday, November 12th at the Penthouse Suite at The Kingsley Hotel, Cork.

A celebration party is in-store with bubbles, canapes, and treats, as well as an author meet and greet and guest speakers Tara Hepplestone from Foxglove Cocktails and Lisa Kerr from Lisa Kerr Makeup. Contact Sam on Instagram for tickets.
