We want to celebrate Cindy Urbanski and Shana V. Hartman on their new anthology, Unveiling the Secrets of Soft Rebellion: Finding Your Words Amidst Uncertainty, with an in store event on Thursday, July 9, 2026, at 7 pm. Join them for a great discussion. Books are available today.
Synopsis:
For the authors of this book, it’s the courage of finding their words even when the world is uncertain. And for them, that uncertainty comes in all sorts of times and transitions in life. The topics range from the latest headlines to motherhood, to career transitions, to learning to put oneself first. And in each instance, these writers have taken the brave step of saying the quiet thing out loud and sharing their words in a world that would silence them.
Editors and Co-Authors, Shana and Cindy, are excited to share the following amazing contributing authors. . .

Jewel Baker
Elizabeth Honeycutt

Shana Hartman, PhD
Book & Business Coach
Founding Partner Synergy Publishing Group
Managing Partner Synergy House LLC
Cindy Urbanski is a wife and mom who loves cooking wholesome food, reading good books, traveling, and being in the woods or near the water with her husband and children. A former high school teacher and university professor, Cindy is now the founding partner of Synergy House LLC (where she loves to host retreats and feed people) and the managing partner of Synergy Wellness Group. As a part of this work, she is the lead writing coach for Synergy Publishing Group, a certified BodyMind Method© coach, and a RYT 500 yoga instructor.
Each of these roles tap into her super power of helping people reclaim themselves (or maybe claim themselves for the first time), teaching small group yoga, and talking to groups of all sizes and demographics about her books, her writing, and the messy process of writing. Her current focus is on getting as many voices out into the world as possible because people’s stories matter and the telling of those stories is healing. In this way, the claiming, the yoga, and the writing all come together for her. And sometimes she even follows her own best advice.
