Chicago, Illinois – Speaker, coach, and founder of Go Be Love Inc., Joshua Barrett, is set to release his transformative new book, Through the Fire: A Guide to Overcoming Trauma and Daily Challenges, on January 1st, 2025. Available on Amazon, the book blends Barrett’s personal journey of resilience with actionable tools to help readers overcome obstacles, heal from past wounds, and thrive in the present.

As a survivor of a traumatic childhood and a 20-year battle with addiction, Barrett’s life serves as a testament to the power of transformation. His book provides a practical roadmap for navigating everything from daily frustrations to complex trauma, offering psychological techniques, mindfulness practices, and deeply personal insights.

“I started Go Be Love Inc. because I believe that if we are blessed enough to make it out of the fire, we are obligated to reach back in and start helping others out,” said Barrett. “This book is an extension of that mission—a way to walk with readers until we can run together.”

A Holistic Approach to Healing

In Through the Fire, Barrett weaves his lived experiences with evidence-based strategies to create a relatable and empowering guide. The book stands out for its approachable tone and practical advice, making complex concepts like mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and forgiveness accessible to everyday readers.

Highlights of the book include:

Personal Stories: Barrett shares candid moments from his life, illustrating how each technique or mindset shift has contributed to his recovery and personal growth.
Actionable Tools: Each chapter includes exercises and lessons that readers can immediately integrate into their daily lives, from grounding techniques to emotional processing methods.
A Path to Acceptance: The book emphasizes accepting the past while shedding the weight of yesterday, helping readers move forward with clarity and confidence.

“Through the Fire is about more than just surviving—it’s about finding purpose and joy on the other side of pain,” Barrett explained.

Beyond his writing, Barrett is a sought-after speaker and coach known for his ability to translate complex ideas into practical, actionable steps. Drawing on psychological research, mindfulness practices, and his own experiences, Barrett tailors his teachings to meet clients where they are.

“I strive to make healing and growth accessible to everyone,” said Barrett. “Too often, teachings on concepts like emotional intelligence and mindfulness feel overwhelming or out of reach. My goal is to simplify these ideas so clients can apply them in real-life situations.”

Barrett offers in-person and virtual coaching sessions and speaking engagements tailored to audiences ranging from corporate teams to community organizations. His workshops and presentations focus on topics such as:

Navigating trauma and adversity.
Building emotional resilience.
Incorporating mindfulness into daily routines.
Developing a growth-oriented mindset.

“Go Be Love isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement,” said Barrett. “It’s about creating a community where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow.”
