What does it take to publish multiple bestselling books? And how does a spiritual teacher who has dedicated her life to teaching others about fire navigate the devastating power of a wildfire that destroys her home?

In this rich conversation, I speak with HeatherAsh Amara, bestselling author of nine books including the Warrior Goddess Training series, who shares both her journey as a writer and how her life dramatically changed when a controlled burn became the largest wildfire in New Mexico history.

HeatherAsh reveals her path from aspiring seven-year-old writer to bestselling author, including her years working as Don Miguel Ruiz's publicist. She shares how she met Don Miguel in 1992 before The Four Agreements was published, got to witness its development, and also served as publicist for his books.

The conversation then shifts to her profound experience with the New Mexico wildfire that decimated her ranch, and how this catastrophe transformed her relationship with the land and expanded her vision from a five-year retreat center plan to a 50-year restoration project.
