Ari Squires' message is simple: reclaim your destiny by releasing your unlimited potential. The challenge is summoning the courage to break the emotional, mental, and social chains that prevent us from being the successful, fulfilled, productive, happy person we are meant to be. "We are afraid of our own truth so we will cling to people and things that are no longer serving, nurturing, or supporting us," she explains. "How can we ever walk in our truth if we are afraid to be who we are?" Release the Chains is the ultimate woman's guide to achieving your personal and professional goals by providing the tools and mindset needed to conquer your inner critic that holds you back from reaching your full potential. Life Design Strategist Ari Squires knows firsthand the consequences of hiding behind oneself. Despite being raised in a good home and educated in quality schools, low self-esteem led her to pursue a life in the streets. A self-described hustla, Ari's criminal pursuits, recounted in painfully honest detail, eventually led to a life-changing prison sentence. She shares riveting stories of her incarceration and her struggles once freed with unhealthy relationships, homelessness, and betrayal. But rather than let life beat her down and keep her from achieving her goals, Ari summoned strength from within after realizing she was the only person holding herself back. "We can only change the world to the extent that we can change ourselves," she says, "and it starts with releasing your chains."
