Outside In: A story of transcendence from pain to power

“Sometimes, the path to healing takes us through our deepest wounds. But it’s in those moments that we discover our strength.”

Lynzie Bailey’s deeply personal memoir, Outside In: A Story of Transcendence from Pain to Power, invites readers to embark on a journey of truth, forgiveness, and renewal. At its core, this book is a compassionate and transformative guide for anyone ready to move from surviving to thriving, especially those who’ve faced the echoes of childhood trauma.

Through vivid storytelling and tender reflection, Lynzie reveals how revisiting the pain of her upbringing in a fractured family became the catalyst for uncovering her truest self. Writing as an act of healing, she shares how viewing her life “from the outside in” unlocked a perspective that allowed her to reshape her narrative—not with shame, but with courage.

But this isn’t a story told in isolation. Co-authored with her mother, Joyce, this book offers a rare perspective: two voices, two hearts, and a shared journey toward reconciliation. Together, they illustrate how honesty and vulnerability can mend even the deepest familial fractures, creating bridges of understanding and hope.

What You’ll Find in This Book:

  • A Story That Feels Like Yours: Whether you’ve faced challenges within your family or struggled to find your purpose, Lynzie’s experiences resonate on an intimate level, gently nudging you toward your own self-discovery.
  • Empathy and Encouragement: This isn’t just a memoir; it’s a balm for the soul. Through each heartfelt chapter, you’ll find affirmations of your own worth and strength.
  • A Journey of Connection: More than just a personal narrative, this book is a love letter to the power of human relationships—reminding us that healing isn’t something we do alone.

 

Why This Book Matters:

Life’s challenges don’t define who we are—they shape who we become. Lynzie and Joyce’s story is a testament to the idea that it’s never too late to forge a deeper understanding of yourself or the people you love. Throughout these pages, they gently encourage readers to embrace their imperfections, value their individuality, and create space for forgiveness.

This isn’t about running from the past; it’s about standing in your truth and letting it transform you. The lessons woven through Outside In are honest, relatable, and deeply affirming—a reminder that our greatest strength lies in the courage to face the very pain we want to leave behind.


As Lynzie and Joyce write:

“Our scars are not symbols of failure; they’re maps of where we’ve been. They show us the depth of our survival and the beauty of our growth.”

Whether you’re searching for clarity, strength, or simply a story that reminds you you’re not alone, Outside In is a powerful companion for your journey inward.

This book is more than words on a page—it’s a conversation with your heart. A reminder to trust your resilience. And a gentle push toward discovering the power of your own story.

Find your strength. Reclaim your power. Start from the outside in.

How I Reconnected with My True Self (and How You Can, Too!)

By Lynzie Bailey

About 5 years ago I was financially and emotionally struggling to hang on to a home that felt like a giant anchor pulling me toward financial ruin…

I believed that the home I “owned” was the most important part of my identity, a symbol of my success or failure. I felt an enormous sense of defeat when faced with foreclosure. Yet I was unable to face that I was a big part of my own problem.

I would soon realize that I had been lured away from connecting with the Divine and discouraged from following my own intuition through my religious upbringing and  by outside influences. I didn’t know it, but I was about to discover my true and best Divine path.

Many times, I had considered starting to meditate but couldn’t commit to devoting the time and patience to be successful at it.

But…

One day, I went into my backyard, plugged into a short, basic meditation I found online and sat for 5 minutes, wrestling with my mind, but sticking with it, nevertheless. I repeated the exercise until, by the end of the week, I had gotten to the 10-minute mark. I had finally pushed through a dense block of resistance I had faced for a very l-o-n-g time.

From here, I started to experiment with all types of meditation I found online. I was meditating several times a day now and reveling in a high energy vibration I had never experienced before now. About two weeks later, during my second call of the week with a new business coach, I had an experience that changed the course of my life. On my Independence Day – July 4th, 2013 – I finally said yes to letting go of the house I had called home for the past 10 years.

At the time, even though my identity was still too tied to the physical structure I called “home”, I knew something big had just happened and that I was changing for the better. I was getting an inkling that “home” is within. Letting go of my house on that day had led me to a spiritual awakening. I see now that everything that has happened in my life – losing the home I had worked so hard for, my childhood struggles, my background in nursing, and more – was all perfect and just what should have occurred! I had found my soul’s purpose. My meditation practice became the backdrop for my cosmic exploration, the uncovering of a connection with my newly discovered Spirit Family. It seemed my Guides and Angels were suddenly speaking to me…or was it that I was finally listening and more aware?

I now found myself on a journey inward, building a bridge I could walk over any time I needed to connect with that secret place where visions and communications from another reality come through.

A year after starting my meditation practice, I received a message that I was to write a meditation program for beginners. This was the inception of my program, Building The Bridge Inward Through Meditation: A guide to Divine connection and direction. This gift that came through me to share with the world has pieces of my heart threaded throughout every paragraph.

Think of my meditation guide as a template you can use to build your own meditation practice. Whether you are just starting out or have some experience, I believe you will discover in it the guidance you might find helpful in connecting with your own true self and the way back to your inner-home.
