Spokane, WA – January 2026 – From the trauma of childhood in a politically fractured nation to the depths of burnout and collapse, Gabriela Popescu has spent decades walking the path from self-betrayal to wholeness. Now, the #1 Amazon best-selling author and transformational coach is sharing her hard-won wisdom through From Chaos to Harmony: Reclaim Your Sovereignty—From Self-Betrayal to Wholeness, along with her comprehensive SOUL Path framework.

Popescu’s journey began in the chaos of political revolution, where survival instincts overrode authenticity. For years, she performed, over functioned, and abandoned herself in service of others—a pattern that eventually led to complete burnout and collapse. That breaking point became her breakthrough, forcing her to confront a fundamental question: Who am I when I stop performing?

“I realized I had spent decades handing my power to people who couldn’t hold it,” Popescu reflects. “The real work wasn’t thinking my way free—it was rewiring my entire nervous system, reclaiming my body, and learning to choose myself, especially when life felt heavy.”

The collapse served as a catalyst for transformation, compelling Popescu to develop what she now calls the SOUL Path—a four-step methodology that honors the whole self: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Her response was to create a framework that applies somatic work, NLP, breathwork, and spiritual guidance to personal transformation, helping women move from survival into thriving.

Central to Popescu’s approach is the SOUL Path framework, which guides readers through four essential steps:

Source Connection — Reconnect with something greater than yourself, establishing the bedrock for all healing.

Ownership — Take radical responsibility for your healing and patterns, reclaiming the power you’ve outsourced.

Unlocking — Strip away false identities and beliefs, rewiring your nervous system and interrupting generational patterns.

Love Embodied — Sustain your transformation, moving through life anchored in clarity, self-trust, and purpose.

From Chaos to Harmony serves as both an intimate testimony and a practical guide, combining Popescu’s unfiltered personal story with tools, journaling prompts, and integration exercises readers can apply immediately. The book addresses a critical challenge: how women can break free from conditioning and self-abandonment to unveil lives of authenticity, wholeness, and purpose.

Popescu’s methodology emphasizes what she calls “whole-self transformation”—a philosophy grounded in the understanding that affirmations and mindset work alone cannot create lasting change. Real transformation requires honoring all four bodies and engaging in the grounded, sustainable work of rewiring from the root.

“There is life on the other side of burnout,” Popescu explains. “There is beauty beyond breakdown. There is a version of you that’s not just surviving—but radiating. My greatest work is walking alongside women who are ready to do the real work and rise in their fullness.”

Early readers have responded with overwhelming enthusiasm. Pamela Lister shares: “From the very first paragraph, I was drawn in and didn’t want to stop reading. Your story is told with such raw honesty and emotional depth that it felt both heartbreaking and healing all at once. There’s nothing I would change. The way you’re telling your story is already so impactful, and I truly believe it’s going to touch and inspire so many people.”

Cynthia Canley adds: “Exceptional writing is the phrase that keeps coming to mind! The style of storytelling is compelling. It’s direct, to the point, very interesting and engaging AND is communicating the ideas in a way that they almost feel downloaded and interpreted as soon as you read them.”

The book represents a distinctive offering in the personal transformation space, combining Popescu’s unique background—political trauma, personal collapse, and transformational recovery—with a comprehensive framework that honors both intellectual understanding and embodied practice. Readers come away equipped with practical tools and the deep knowing that transformation is possible.

From Chaos to Harmony speaks directly to women who have spent years trying to think their way free, abandoned themselves in subtle and overt ways, handed their power to people who couldn’t hold it, or felt the ache of forgetting who they truly are. This is not a book for those seeking comfort or validation. This is a book for those ready to do the work—the real, grounded, sustainable work of transformation.

Popescu continues her work as a transformational coach and guide for individuals seeking to overcome self-imposed limitations and live with greater authenticity and purpose through the SOUL Path Programs and her growing community of women committed to wholeness.
