Description

Uncaged: A Good Girl’s Journey to Reinvention is a story about the choices we make, the cages we build for ourselves, and how we can break free.

From the quiet suburbs of Switzerland to the warm, familial settings of Greece and beyond, Uncaged takes readers inside a deeply personal journey from toxicity and heartbreak to self-discovery and transformation. Raised in a traditional Greek family, Katia enters the world with deeply ingrained beliefs about what it means to be a “good girl,” forced to put others’ needs and desires above her own, while checking all the boxes of societal approval—academic excellence, a promising career, a picture-perfect marriage. Yet, despite her many accomplishments, even strong-willed Katia struggles to fully love and accept herself, and progressively loses touch with her true essence, which deep down is playful, adventurous, and free-spirited.

As a result of the false labels (“selfish”) and other painful childhood baggage she carries, Katia often expresses the outrage of an adolescent who wasn’t permitted to feel her anger—or even her grief. But as her story unfolds, the hardworking defense analyst learns (the hard way) to take risks and make mistakes, and finally, to embrace her true calling and a more authentic life.

From rebelliously riding away on a lover’s Harley to overcoming an embittered divorce to grieving the loss of her beloved father to finally embracing healthy love—Katia’s story is raw, honest, vulnerable, and strong.

Uncaged proves that we can change, risk, forgive, and grow. We can find genuine meaning and purpose. We can carve out life on our own terms. We can create home and belonging—and even love—no matter where in the world we find ourselves.

Advance Praise

“Katia is a brilliant teacher and a transformational healer. Uncaged is a powerful road map for the emotional reset and rebirth we all have longed for. Katia’s journey is our journey, and the deep insights contained in each page help us navigate our own constrictions and blockages as she guides us to our most authentic and magnificent expression. In the process, this very personal story lovingly guides us and inspires us to step into our own power.” —davidji, author of Sacred Powers

Uncaged is a firestorm of truth—a call to arms for any woman who has ever felt trapped by her own life. This book isn’t just her story; it’s a manifesto for all of us who’ve built our own cages through the expectations we swallowed without questioning. Katia’s unapologetic narrative teaches us that reinvention isn’t about changing who we are; it’s about stripping away the nonsense until all that’s left is our pure, unbridled, magnificent self. Uncaged is not for the faint of heart—it’s for the brave of spirit. For anyone ready to stop pleasing and start living, this is THE guide.”—Shivangi Walke, founder of Thrive with Mentoring and coauthor of Unstoppable: Inspiring Stories of Growth
