Authored by women’s life coach LiYana Silver, this book guides readers through an audacious journey of self-discovery, urging them to trust the aspects of themselves they’ve previously hidden.

The memoir navigates the intricate path of divorce, the formation of a blended family, and the revelation that the vitality or fragility of a family is determined not by its structure alone, but by the individual capacity of each member to embrace their authenticity. Moreover, “Untamed” explores the liberating journey of learning to establish healthy boundaries, forging a harmonious relationship with our bodies, acknowledging our emotions of anger and heartbreak, and unleashing our most instinctive and authentic impulses.

Eve in Exile: The Restoration of Femininity

The need for liberation was evident for swooning Victorian ladies and 1950s housewives, and the early feminist movements addressed these concerns.

In the current era, where modern women are increasingly reliant on psychotherapeutic antidepressants, the necessity for liberation is more pressing than ever.

Yet, the concept of liberation has become unclear within feminist discourse, leading to a mundane impasse. “Eve in Exile” boldly challenges stereotypes associated with past eras, like the submissive mid-century housewife or the China-doll femininity. It also dispels modern portrayals of women, whether in executive roles or as outspoken feminists. In doing so, the book calls attention to real women’s purpose—forging a connection with God’s intended design.

Addressing issues like irregular periods, fertility challenges, mood disorders, and low libido, the book emphasizes that medication and antidepressants aren’t the sole remedies.
