Summary

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.

Brilliant, can’t wait for the next one

A beautifully written and captivating story of love and loss. I laughed and cried and didn’t want it to end. I’m left with the feeling that I too can overcome the darkest days. Thankyou Anna

Absolutely brilliant

Anna

This was a joy to listen to. I felt that you meant every word and what you have achieved in such a short space of time, after so much hurt, and raw life experience, is an inspiration. You haven’t dwelled on the past, you’ve simply been able to take a birds eye view and have taken us on your journey so far. It was a real joy to listen to!! You really have turned something awful into something brilliant by being quite brave! I can’t wait to see what you do and write about next.

This book is great for anyone and everyone who can’t see a way forward but whom would like a touch of magic in their lives. Life is for living!

Well done!

An incredible memoir that resonates!

What an incredible story of Anna's life. It's so beautifully written and well-performed, I finished it in 2 days - I absolutely couldn't put it down! After hearing what she's been through, her perspectives and how she's handled it all (with her head held high), I can say with conviction that she's an exceptional woman and there was so much I could take from her story to apply to my own journey. Brava Anna!

Time to book a ticket to Paris!

I absolutely loved listening to this book, Anna is so raw and real as she shares her story. No matter what stage of life you are in, no doubt you will finish this book feeling inspired to find your own magic. It’s made me want to travel more, to say yes more and to make my mark on the world. J’adore!!!

An honest account, told with so much feeling. So glad I bought this book.

The fresh and vibrant story that felt absolute authentic and yes - magic!

This book was recommended to me. I have just been through a divorce and found much I resonated with. Of course our situations are different, and yet they are the same. I cried throughout the book. I thank Anna with all my heart for the inspiration and courage it gives me to make my own magic!

amazing emotive and raw

Brilliant book really helping me to have the courage to walk away from the life I have which is no life at all . To step into the unknown and trust the universe has heard my hopes and dreams and will guide me to where I need to be to truly heal my heart

Disappointed

A poorly written, long-winded post-mortem of a toxic relationship and broken marriage.
Struggled to finish it.
