Mask Off: A Journey to Freedom was birthed in 2020 during the pandemic. We lived in a time when wearing masks became the norm to protect us from the deadly effects of the Covid-19 virus. Masks became a necessity for our well-being. No longer did we recognize each other beyond our eyes. Hiding became easy. Like the pandemic, how long have we depended on invisible "masks" to cover what we don't want people to see spiritually? Pride, jealousy, fear, traumatic disorders, addiction, etc., are all examples of what we hide behind our "masks." Afraid of what people will say if they see the scars and wounds life has brought us. "Masks" not only hide, but they also hinder us from true freedom. This book unveils my journey to reaching and maintaining freedom with God's guidance. Every chapter will have you looking within yourself and challenging yourself to change. The "masks" you hide behind will surely come off. Are you ready to start your Journey to Freedom? Let's go

This book provides a means of comprehensively grounding and considering the epistemological and philosophical underpinnings of practice-based research epistemologies. By introducing readers to the diverse array of methodological tools and concepts that are necessary to underpin postgraduate research, this book develops an understanding of the distinctions between practice-led research, practice-based research and question-led research, and the contextual significance of each, as well as enabling students to comprehend the historical relationships between academic disciplines and the value of reconnecting them at an epistemological and philosophical level. Through illustrated examples from applied practice across disciplines such as art, social sciences and medical and allied healthcare sciences, readers are encouraged to develop the capacity to not only think conceptually about their own research, but to systematically evaluate that of others. With this focus on descriptive studies from practice, the book fosters higher-order critical thinking in relation to implications for methodological implementation, encouraging deep learning processes and the confidence to transcend the limits of one’s own discipline in order to work collaboratively with researchers in different fields.

In the moments before waking up on the pavement after a terrible accident, Catherine Hayes received a powerful message to change her life. Little did she know that she was about to undertake a journey of awakening that would bring her back to her heart and reconnect her with her true, essential self. With grit and perseverance, Catherine rose above her challenging childhood in the projects of South Boston to the heights of academia and the halls of Harvard and Tufts, but it wasn't until she turned a healing lens on her painful past that she was able to find answers to her most profound questions. Using tools like the Enneagram, the Diamond Approach, and coaching, she was able to retrace her steps to the places where she had abandoned her heart and, from those points of disconnection, reestablish a true connection to the deeper knowing which is the divine Self at the heart of all of us. Catherine's powerful story and deep insights around her own experiences will guide you to a restored faith in your inner guidance and the potential of your innate gifts. Her commitment to helping others rediscover their true selves is present on every page. Through her story, you will gain tools for your own personal development, a renewed faith in your inner guidance, and the sense of freedom that comes from finding true forgiveness in all areas of your life. No matter where you are in your life, or what you've been through, you can believe Everything is going to be okay.
