In the final book, volume three, in the Life By Design Series, Kim Ward has once again curated an excellent collection of stories from truly brave women. These authors have opened their hearts and reached into their souls to tell us of their trials and triumphs as they found their own pathway to the things they were able to leverage, leading then to the lifestyle they desired, and to be able to leave a legacy to be proud of for future generations. Some of these chapters tell gut-wrenching tales, others heartwarming passages. The readers will find themselves reflected in some of these pages and the hope of all the authors is to inspire everyone who reads the book to know they are not alone

WHEN Stories: When Everything Changed:

We Redefined Our Stories

WHEN Stories is a collection of thirteen powerful narratives from thirteen unique voices, each exploring the moments that forever changed the trajectory of their lives. These authors—ranging from entrepreneurs and coaches to everyday warriors—openly share their journeys of transformation, resilience, and growth, shining a light on the courage it takes to face life's unexpected challenges.

Each story in WHEN Stories reveals a personal “WHEN” moment: the point when everything changed and a new path emerged. Whether it’s overcoming loss, finding strength in adversity, rediscovering purpose, or experiencing profound personal growth, these stories are raw, real, and relatable. Together, they show us that no matter where we come from or what we face, we all have moments that define us and inspire others to keep moving forward.

With an emphasis on the power of storytelling, WHEN Stories invites readers to find inspiration and hope in the lives of others, while also encouraging them to reflect on their own pivotal moments. This anthology isn’t just a book—it’s an invitation to explore what happens when we turn our scars into stepping stones and our challenges into chapters of resilience.

Join us on this journey of shared humanity, and see how a single moment can transform a life and inspire the world.
