A survivor’s guide to paradise
PUBLISHED AUGUST 2025
What if paradise isn’t a place you find—but something you remember within yourself?
In this short yet powerful guidebook, author Mariah Laine Moyle shares the raw, transformative journey that led her to that very question. It began as a dream: sailing to the Bahamas on a sailboat. But soon after she arrived in paradise, her world started to crumble, which led to an unraveling, and a deeper search for meaning.
Blending memoir with practical wisdom, A Survivor's Guide to Paradise draws from Mariah’s years of study in traditional yoga, herbalism, and her initiations with Andean shamans. Through honest storytelling and grounded guidance, she offers keys to inner healing, presence, and self-remembrance. The book explores shadow work, the healing potential of plant medicine, and the art of living in harmony with yourself and your surroundings. You’ll discover practical tools to deepen self-awareness, cultivate self-love, and tend to your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Sometimes you need to make bold changes to bring your dreams to life, and sometimes you simply need to remember: paradise isn’t something you find out there—it’s something you awaken within
