I have a dream of a world where all people love and accept themselves and each other -- where there are no more puppets, and we are all free at last to live our lives with no strings attached.

When Mardi Kirkland resigned from a corporate sales management career to start her own business, she told herself she was a macho woman who could accomplish anything. Instead she was suddenly confronted with a far stronger belief about herself as she confided to a friend, “I can’t fail…because then everyone will know I’m no good.” While this was a shocking revelation, she realized it had been running the show most of her life and it launched her journey to find wholeness.

There was no area of her life left untouched once her healing journey began. This is an adventure Mardi expects will never end. In her words, “I’m not walking on water yet.”

“Who’s Pulling My Strings” takes the reader beyond theory and lists of things to do to change their life. It shows what it will be like to take these life-changing steps, and what to do when obstacles seem to be blocking your path.

As you travel with Mardi on her journey, you feel like she is also your companion on the expedition to your inner universe, understanding your fears, encouraging you to touch your core and find your heart. Mardi talks with you as if the two of you are sitting in your living room having an intimate conversation.
