Authentic You is a transformative guide for individuals seeking to reconnect with their inner truth, awaken their spiritual awareness, and live a life of authenticity and divine alignment. Structured around 20 progressive chapters, the book blends reflective insight, personal empowerment, and practical exercises designed to help readers shift from survival mode into soulful living.
Chapters 1–5: Awakening to Possibility
The journey begins with intention. Readers are guided to set clear, soulful intentions (Chapter 1) and release limiting beliefs about their worth and capacity (Chapter 2). Through exploring the power of self-belief and rewriting negative mental programming (Chapter 3), the reader is encouraged to believe in their own inner power and possibility. Chapter 4 introduces the concept of higher guidance, helping readers tap into their intuition and spiritual connection. Chapter 5 deepens this by introducing meditation and stillness practices as daily anchors.
Chapters 6–10: Embracing the Authentic Self
With a foundation of spiritual awareness, the next chapters focus on the authentic self. Chapter 6 helps readers recognise and break through emotional blocks, while Chapter 7 explores the power of energy and vibration—encouraging alignment over effort. Chapter 8 explores the importance of finding your soul tribe—your energetic community of support. Chapter 9 focuses on authentic communication, highlighting the importance of speaking and listening from the heart. Chapter 10, a pivotal chapter, calls readers to own their uniqueness and step into their power with courage and love.
Chapters 11–15: Alignment and Action
With authenticity claimed, Chapters 11–15 move into aligned living. Readers are guided to use their gifts in service and joy (Chapter 11) and expand beyond limited thinking (Chapter 12). Chapter 13 encourages readers to let go of outdated identities that no longer serve them, while Chapter 14 shifts into a heart-opening space of receiving miracles and abundance. Chapter 15 bridges belief with movement, inviting readers to take aligned, faith-filled action.
Chapters 16–20: Embodiment and Empowerment
The final chapters focus on embodiment—living as the inspired self. Chapter 16 calls readers to stand in their truth and power, while Chapter 17 invites them to deepen their spiritual connection, recognising the sacred guidance available to them at all times. Chapter 18 explores the power of forgiveness, both for self and others, as a path to liberation. Chapter 19 teaches how to trust divine timing and surrender control, reinforcing that peace is found in presence, not pressure. The book concludes with Chapter 20, an inspiring call to live fully, love deeply, and lead others simply by being your authentic self.

Scars Could Love
#2 in the Scars series
In Scars Could Love, Philip J. Bradbury weaves a compelling tale of quiet resilience, corruption, and the redemptive power of connection. Janice, a seemingly invisible school secretary in Ipswich, Queensland, becomes the reluctant hero in a dark web of schoolyard corruption, systemic abuse, and child trafficking. Alone and struggling to protect her daughter Kassey while clinging to a fragile sense of security, Janice uncovers disturbing secrets buried within the walls of St Bede’s school—secrets that reach into the heart of law enforcement and local authority.
When Janice dares to report what she suspects, she’s met not with support, but with intimidation and violence. With few allies and nowhere to turn, she’s forced into hiding with Kassey. Their escape leads them into the arms of a special police task force dedicated to dismantling child trafficking networks. As the case unravels, Janice finds herself caught between fear and justice, silence and truth.
Their journey takes them to the Lucky Café, a community hub run by Geoffrey—a reformed ex-criminal whose inner light and kindness become a beacon for the broken and the brave. Geoffrey’s own past, marked by abandonment, crime, and eventual transformation through unlikely mentorship, mirrors Janice’s fight for a better world. The café emerges as more than a refuge—it’s a place where hope brews with the coffee and community weaves itself into salvation.
Through Janice’s voice—wry, haunted, and deeply human—Bradbury crafts a narrative that balances trauma with warmth, danger with tenderness, and despair with humour. With richly drawn characters like Constable Markham, the undercover sage Samuel, and Janice’s spirited daughter Kassey, Scars Could Love reveals how healing begins with truth, and how even the most battered lives can ignite change.
This is a story about the quiet warriors among us, those who speak up when it’s dangerous to do so, and the unlikely friendships that anchor us through our darkest trials. Both a suspenseful crime drama and a hopeful portrait of human resilience, Scars Could Love asks: what if love isn’t soft or safe—but the raw scarred kind that still chooses to believe, still chooses to act?
Philip’s own experience as a grief counsellor, facilitator of personal development and AIDS workshops and men’s groups – and as a PTSD survivor – adds many ideas for women and girls (in particular) to help keep them safe in this world and healthy ways to turn scars to Love.
