Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kerstin lived the first 16 years of her life behind the “Iron Curtain” in Russian-occupied Eastern Germany where people could not say or do anything that wasn’t approved by the government and life was marked by scarcity of even the simplest things. She was stuck in what seemed to be a depressing and hopeless situation, but she never stopped dreaming about being free one day and able to do what she wanted to do. This and many more dreams came alive for her but not without navigating through many seemingly insurmountable hurdles.

Educating and supporting others has always been and still is Kerstin’s greatest passion. She believes that everyone can create and experience the life of their choosing and break through barriers that hold them back from living an amazing life. Kerstin loves sharing her knowledge and experience to empower others improve their lives, regardless of their circumstances. She is a certified Professional Coach (CPC) and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP) through iPEC, a mother of two, First Mate and Chef de Cuisine on the small adventure charter yacht she and her husband Jack own and operate in the Pacific Northwest. Lately, she added “author” to her list of careers.

Her book has not only inspired me to take an honest evaluation of the direction I am going, but also helped me stop and think about exactly what my core values are and how my actions are NOT aligning with what is REALLY important to me! Her advice is easy to follow and she offers very practical, step by step advice.
I am so excited to embark on this journey! I feel like I have all the tools I need for success and have an understanding now of where the pitfalls in the past have snared me. Thank you Kerstin!!!

This book is a brilliant combination of an autobiography of an amazing woman along with 10 life lessons of "I Can & I Will" no matter how deep the setback. I just read the book and immediately ordered one for our 30 yr old daughter who just hit a major setback. BTW, I recently met Kerstin & Jack and they are now personal friends of ours in the Southernmost area of the continental USA.

I read Decook's story with rapt attention. Suggestions and strategies seemed familiar to me at first blush. It's wasn't until I read Decook's backstory that I fully believe that I, too, could empower myself to take steps , like Decook, towards my best life. We all come with a backstory - Decook's is relatable. Her ideas and tools are simple and engaging. The personal narrative is written in a comfortable tone and easy read. Chapters are filled with examples which can be applied to many situations. She explains how even in the face of adversity, we have the power to make positive changes and move forward. As I read, I felt as if Ms. Decook was right there chatting with me, coaching me to use the different tools and see measurable results! Break Loose and Fly is inspirational and certainly worthy of a book circle talk, classroom discussion or professional development. Do make the time for this read! Ms. Decook, I might not be ready for the "cold shower" therapy you recommend to start my day but I'm sure going to give it a try! Thank you for all of this.

Break Loose and Fly is a book that doesn't really read like a book. It reads more like a friend who is giving you advice and cares about your well-being with a warmth and understanding that is both refreshing and encouraging. Kerstin comes across like she only wants the best for her readers and I truly feel like that is the case. I walked away from reading this feeling encouraged, motivated, and like I had tools to better help myself in struggling situations. I particularly liked what she had to say in the last chapter about how what you tell yourself about your capabilities affects what your body is able to do. If you encourage yourself, you'll surprise yourself by being able to accomplish more than you realized, and if you talk down to yourself, goals feel way less attainable. I highly reccomend this book for anyone at any stage in their life. I think there is something for everyone in it!

Break Loose and Fly by Kerstin Decook gives us the basics as to why and how we react to life’s challenges and includes many options for us to cope and survive. She uses her own extraordinary experiences which are many and overwhelming starting her life under Russian control in East Germany and breaking loose in her teenage years to the free world. She explains her sometimes hopeless feelings and how she survived. At the end of each chapter she offers solutions and tools that help to understand our feelings and work thru them and move on to the next life challenges. No long professional terminology but is written using everyday language that is easy to understand and read.
It is a must read for anyone who is willing to get out of their comfort zone and move on to bigger and better things in life.

The minute I started reading, I couldn't put the book down until I finished the following day. I was eager to see what the author was going to accomplish next on her quest, and how she was going to do it. I believe in sharing our experiences through life, and encouraging others along the way. Kerstin's story supplied courage and grit throughout the pages, and I couldn't help but feel uplifted as I followed along her story, and reflected on my own. If you are looking for a book to inspire you to follow your dreams, and how to execute your plan, Break Loose and Fly offers a perspective of what you are perhaps missing in your life, and presents guidance on where you can begin, embark, and conquer! 10/10 recommend!

A true wayshower is someone who walks the difficult path, so other's don't have to. They see the light in the darkest of places, and overcome the greatest of hurdles, so they can live to tell you how it's done. Kerstin Decook is a true wayshower, who explains in simple, down to earth methods, how to transform your thought processes so you can transform your life, juxtaposed again the trials of an insurmountable past. So many of us take life for granted and will never know it's vital importance until our freedoms are taken away, which makes her book such an important read, to help others think outside their own safe container and reimagine a better life for themselves.

Decook's book contains practical tools to break through the barriers that keep many of us stuck. Her beautiful use of metaphor helps us to imagine a world where literally anything is possible with five magic words: "I can and I will." Every tool shared in this book is essential and can be accessed easily once we learn how to "wake the lion within us." I especially appreciated the accessibility of the author - she invites us into her world with colorful and thought-provoking stories that form the foundation lessons that we can relate to and strategies we can use immediately. If you focus on the next step, the path forward reveals itself. Definitely recommend this book!
