Synopsis

Read by the author.For every woman searching for her voice, Anna Kloots shares her story of starting over by trusting the magic that was always within...Despite what appeared to be a glamorous existence full of globetrotting adventures, behind the scenes, Anna felt invisible in her own life. Consumed by a marriage that left no space for her own desires and creativity, she chose to reframe the failure of her marriage as an opportunity to begin again.It was Anna's innate sense of adventure and love for the unknown that led her to move abroad; travel around the world, visiting 80 countries; start her own business; and marry a magician—all before her mid-twenties. From the outside, her jet-setting lifestyle alongside her husband looked perfect. But though she appeared to have all the freedom in the world, in reality she was trapped in a slow-motion disappearing act.When her marriage collapsed, she decided to use her unhappy ending as a chance for a new beginning—a reappearance into her own life and sense of exploration and discovery, letting each destination challenge, change, and shape her.Following Anna's extensive travels from the bustling streets of Jaipur to the canals of Venice to the desert of Dubai, My Own Magic is a powerful memoir—a true, coming-of-age story about a woman rediscovering the magic that she always had.Anna's memoir is proof that travel can transform you, inspire you, and even save you. Perfect for fans of Eat Pray Love.

I just finished this book and can't believe there are so many low ratings and negative comments.  Like many people, I first learned of Anna during Covid when she was lending support to her sister Amanda while Nick was hospitalized.  I don't typically read memoirs by people I know nothing about, so I......more

Goodreads review by Karin on May 29, 2023

I’m bummed about this book. I was afraid it was going to be IG influencer level depth and unfortunately that is where it landed for me. I have a lot of respect for anyone brave enough to tell their story in a public format and art is subjective so kudos to Anna for putting herself out there. For me......more

Goodreads review by LMO on May 26, 2023

This book had so much promise! But, it read like a cathartic post mortem of her unraveled marriage. Like a diary of sorts.

I was definitely looking forward to hearing how she rebu......more
