At the age of 33, best-selling author and former journalist, Mare McHale, became a widow, losing her husband to suicide.

Through extensive self-work, Mare climbed back on her feet, tripling her business, garnering close to two million views on her YouTube channel and winning entrepreneurial awards. In ‘Finding Your Cape’, Mare outlines exactly how she found her secret weapon that catapulted her healing. You too will gain the tools and confidence to find your own cape through a series of exercise as Mare shares her story, at times funny, embarrassing, touching and always vulnerable.
