Dissatisfied with the passive, limited roles she saw for women growing up, she emulated the men in her life—chasing success, climbing the corporate ladder, ticking the boxes, playing by the rules of a masculine ideal. She was accomplished. She was living \"The Dream.\" But it wasn't her dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the universe caught her attention with a sign: \u003cem\u003eRaise Restraining Device.\u003c\/em\u003e Steph had seen this ski lift sign on countless occasions in the past, but the familiar words suddenly became a personal call to shake off the life she had built in a search for something different, something more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteph soon decided to walk away from the success and security she had worked long and hard to obtain. She quit her job, took a second mortgage on her house, sold everything except her ski equipment and her laptop, and bought a bundle of plane tickets. For the next year, she followed winter across North and South America, Asia, Europe, and New Zealand—and up and down the mountains of nine countries—on a mission to ski four million vertical feet in a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat hiking was for Cheryl Strayed, skiing became for Steph: a crucible in which to crack open her life and get to the very center of herself. But she would have to break herself down—first physically, then emotionally—before she could start to rebuild. And it was through this journey that she came to understand how to be a woman, how to love, and how to live authentically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectrifying, heartfelt, and full of humor, \u003cem\u003eUnbound \u003c\/em\u003eis Steph’s story—an odyssey of courage and self-discovery that, like \u003cem\u003eWild\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eEat, Pray, Love,\u003c\/em\u003e will inspire readers to remove their own restraining devices and pursue the life they are meant to lead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steph Jagger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46899937247381,"sku":"9780062659309","price":43.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780062659309_5a096fe8-31a7-4805-aa31-93fc2b26d80b.jpg?v=1776888457","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780062659309_unbound","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
