C I AchbergerC.I. Achberger is an accidental author. She's a lifelong artist who created the Wintering Well method to get herself unstuck in messy midlife-then realized other people might need it too. After spending years building what looked like the perfect lif-caregiver, mother, wife-she looked up and realized she'd become invisible, even to herself. Life delivered a masterclass in starting over: profound grief, business collapse and pivots, and a move to Portugal (and back) that ended with rebuilding everything from scratch in her 50s.She's not a therapist or life coach. She's someone who figured out what works when life knocks you sideways and traditional self-help fails.Wintering Well: A Survival Guide for the Stuck is the first book in her Seasons of Wisdom series, published by Solstice & Stone. The series offers practical frameworks for navigating life's transitions-one season at a time. For those who refuse to disappear.Books on Spring, Summer, and Fall are forthcoming. Read More Read Less
