The Phoenix Rising
Living Your Purpose and Building a Legacy
There comes a season…
The season where you can no longer unknow what you’ve discovered.
Now you have to live it.
Choose it.
Build it.
Rise into it.
Phoenix Rising is the second book in The Phoenix Path™ series- a compassionate guide to living what you’ve remembered, reclaiming your voice, aligning your life with your purpose, and choosing, day after day, to become the person you know you were meant to be.
Remembering who you are is only the beginning. There comes a moment when knowing is no longer enough. You must trust yourself enough to choose differently, live more intentionally, and build a life that reflects your truth. This is an invitation to step fully into your purpose, reclaim your power, and rise into the life that has been waiting for you.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The Phoenix Rising™
There comes a moment when the life you’ve built no longer fits the person you’re becoming.
Phoenix Awakening is the first book in The Phoenix Path™ series, where truth begins to replace fear, curiosity replaces certainty, and the journey home to yourself begins.
Before we can become who we’re meant to be, we must remember who we were before the world told us who to become. This is an invitation to stop searching outside yourself, listen to the quiet voice that’s been calling you home, and begin the courageous journey of remembering who you have always been.
More Than a Book
Like Phoenix Awakening, this book is meant to be experienced, not simply read.
Each chapter includes reflection questions, guided journaling, practical exercises, and meaningful practices designed to help you move from insight into intentional action. Because transformation isn’t built through one extraordinary moment, it is created through the choices you make every day.
As you move through these pages, you’ll be invited to release what no longer aligns, strengthen what matters most, and build a life rooted in authenticity, purpose, and self-trust.
My hope is that this book reminds you that purpose isn’t something waiting to be found somewhere outside of you.
It’s something you choose to live.
“Awakening changes what you see. Rising changes how you live.”
~ ~KIMBERLY SMITH, THE PHOENIX RISING™
WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER
What The Phoenix Rising™ Holds
Stepping Into Your Power
Transformation asks more of you than awareness, it asks for courage. Discover what it means to stop playing small, trust your inner knowing, and begin responding to life from a place of confidence rather than fear.
Awakening to Your Purpose
Your purpose has always been inside you. This chapter helps you stop searching for it and start listening for it, discovering the calling that has been quietly waiting for you to remember and be ready to answer.
Aligning Life with Vision
Once you know who you're becoming, every decision begins to matter. Explore how to create a vision that guides your choices, aligns your actions, and helps you intentionally build the life you want to live.
Owning Your Legacy
Legacy isn't measured by what you leave behind. It's created by how you choose to live today. Discover how your everyday decisions become the foundation for the impact you're here to make.
Stepping Into Leadership
Leadership begins long before anyone follows you. Learn how self-leadership, authenticity, and service create the kind of influence that inspires others to rise alongside you.
Living Your Purpose Every Day
When your life, work, and purpose align, everything changes. Explore how to bridge personal transformation with meaningful action, creating a life that reflects not only who you've become, but why you're here.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF…
You’ve done the inner work. Now it’s time to rise.
→ You’ve begun healing, and something in you knows there is more- a bigger life, a deeper purpose, and a contribution waiting to be made.
→ You’re no longer willing to live in survival mode, but you’re still discovering what thriving looks like for you.
→ You feel called to lead, create, or build something meaningful, but you haven’t fully given yourself permission to step into it.
→ You want your work, your relationships, and your daily life to reflect the person you are becoming rather than the person you used to be.
→ You’re ready to stop waiting for the perfect moment and begin building your legacy exactly where you are.
“Your purpose has always been inside you. It’s time to let it rise and guide you. The world needs what only you can give.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Today, as a five-time bestselling nonfiction author, Kimberly continues that lifelong love of storytelling through transformational works and fictional worlds filled with mystery, magic, and the things that exist just beyond what we can see.
Her writing is drawn to the same thread: the stories we carry, the truths waiting beneath the surface, and the courage it takes to discover who we really are.
Her work explores the questions that follow us through every lifetime: Who are we before the world tells us who to become? What pieces of ourselves have we forgotten? And what happens when everything we thought we knew about ourselves and the world we live in begins to unravel?
After more than three decades of walking beside people through growth, change, leadership, and reinvention, Kimberly discovered that every person carries a story, the one they have lived, the one they have been told, and the one waiting to be written.
Her work blends emotional depth, curiosity, intuition, imagination, and lived experience to explore the messy, beautiful process of being human.
Kimberly is the creator of The Phoenix Path™, a transformational nonfiction journey of remembering, reclaiming, and returning to who you truly are. She is also currently creating a preternatural and supernatural fiction series where hidden worlds, impossible truths, complicated relationships, and a destiny never asked for collide.
She believes the most powerful stories are not about becoming someone new. They are about remembering the parts of ourselves we forgot, reclaiming what was always ours, and returning to who we were meant to be.
When she is not writing, you will find Kimberly in Southeast Florida with her children at the center of her world, her dog and cats nearby, a book in hand (probably nonfiction, probably one from her huge TBR pile), something witchy on the altar, tending her garden, following the rhythm of the moon cycles, or traveling with her partner in their bus while intentionally building a life filled with freedom, adventure, and meaning.
