HIGHER SELF by Mory Fontanez Offers a Groundbreaking Path to Reclaiming Inner Wisdom in an Age of Crisis

"In a world that tells us to look everywhere but within, Mory Fontanez reminds us that the answers have been inside us all along."

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a time of overwhelming uncertainty—political division, personal burnout, and a never-ending stream of external advice—one truth has never been more important: We already know what to do. We've just forgotten how to listen.

In her powerful new book, HIGHER SELF: Reclaiming the Power of Your Intuition (Dey Street Books, March 11, 2025), Mory Fontanez, a former crisis manager turned intuitive life and leadership coach, delivers a transformative guide to breaking free from fear, reconnecting with our inner wisdom, and stepping into the fullest expression of who we are.

A Guide for a World in Crisis

We live in an era where we are taught to distrust ourselves. Fear dominates news cycles. Social media drowns us in conflicting advice. The wellness industry convinces us we need another expert, another program, another answer. But the truth? The wisdom we seek has always been inside us.

With years of experience advising Fortune 500 executives, celebrities, and cultural influencers, Fontanez has helped high-profile leaders navigate some of the most complex crises of their careers. But when her own personal crisis struck—eight months pregnant, on the floor, in tears—she realized she had spent years ignoring her own inner voice. It was only when she finally listened that she found her way forward.

"The root of our suffering comes from the fear that made us trade in our self-worth for acceptance," Fontanez writes. "Your crisis is waking you up and your answers are awaiting you within. When you find them, you'll find your Highest Self."

What's Inside HIGHER SELF?

Part coaching, part memoir, part case study, HIGHER SELF provides a step-by-step framework for readers to reconnect with their intuition and unlock a deeper sense of clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Throughout the book, Fontanez weaves together compelling stories from her own journey and from clients—including influential leaders, performers, and public figures—offering a deeply relatable, practical, and eye-opening guide for anyone ready to stop second-guessing and start trusting themselves again.
