Book Release: Effortless Reality
Do you feel like something is missing in your life? You’ve checked all the boxes—the family, the house, the career—but deep down, there’s a persistent feeling that there’s something more. Or maybe you’ve caught a glimpse of it but feel stuck, held back by self-doubt and hesitation.
You’re not alone. Many of us share this sense of yearning because we have a deeper purpose waiting to be fulfilled. Everything you’ve done so far—raising a family, building a career, overcoming challenges—has been preparing you for this purpose. The tools are already within you; the question is, how do you awaken them? This book is a collection of essays chronicling my journey from sleepwalking through life to living with clarity, peace, and purpose.
My story from a Ph.D. in Physics…
I was in the middle of yet another existential crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic was raging, schools and businesses were closed, and a fire at home forced us to move out of the house until we rebuilt it. I found myself on the brink of something new. I had trouble falling asleep yet would wake up in the early morning hours wondering about life and my purpose in life. People at work overlooked what I had to offer at best, and flat out dismissed it at worst. I had so much to give, so much to tell, and there was nobody to receive it. I did not know what to do. Not only with myself but with my job and life in general. What was the purpose of all that? Was there even a purpose?
… to Metaphysics, JSJ, Astrology, and more.
Fast forward seven years, and I am a new person, with a new vision and new self-esteem. I even look different. 🙂 I have a new job where my team values what, a private life coaching practice, a collection of personal poetry in two languages, and an upcoming book. And all that at the expense of less guilt, no regrets, reduced anger. Talk about a benefit-to-cost ratio!
What did I do, you ask? The shocking answer is not much! Because it is not about the doing, but the removal of blocks, unproductive habits, and hangups in our way of thinking. Which in turn led to less self-sabotaging, less denial, and fewer grievances. The less I indulged in negative thinking, the better the world around me became, the more motivated I was into positive thinking. On and on went this “virtuous cycle,” happily marching me toward a new reality – the Effortless Reality.
This is my story into Effortless Reality, and if it helps you move along with your own transformation, my job on here is done.
I am a storyteller trained in the traditional sciences—or perhaps a scientist who thrives on telling empowering stories. Either way, I invite you to join me on my podcast, Effortless Reality, where I share personal stories and insights on navigating transformation. Explore what works, avoid what doesn’t, and most importantly, stay calm and grounded avoid panic and despair.
Tatiana Gwon, Ph.D.
Tatiana Gwon (née Stantcheva) holds a Ph.D. in physics from the Ohio State University and has worked in the academic field for over two decades as a professor, researcher, and administrator.

Her first book is based on her own transformational journey and is coming soon.
Testimonials
I came to Tatiana’s group on a friend’s recommendation, not really knowing what astrology was or how to interpret the specifics, let alone what a natal birth chart was. One of the things I love most is how Tatiana makes astrology fun and the different astrological personalities so vivid. Definitely a highlight on my schedule – whether I’m catching the live discussion or catching up on the replays.
Tatiana is the consummate professional. She is well-rounded and non-judgmental. I know I will get her honest opinion, which I value. Esoteric can be a lonely set of studies. I feel more connected in a way when I know there is someone to trust who does not have any alternate agenda or plans for exactly what I ‘should’ be doing next. Her advice helps me sort things out for myself. This is more valuable to me than someone who, unless I specifically ask, pushes a class or tells me I need to do something ‘their way.’ Each of us has a path. You might not know what that path is, but having a few folks you can go to is enough for me to get myself back on track. Tatiana is one of a handful of people I can trust to guide me gently and intuitively. Her Zoom classroom teaching style is fun, interesting, and energetic. She is open with her answers and does not overwhelm with jargon. She is also a calming presence when that’s needed. I am so grateful for Tatiana, her wisdom, and her ability to read what’s needed in the moment.
Meditations
This book contains the Guidance I received as I stumbled along my way. Many times, I made progress toward peace and clarity, only to lapse back into fearful and angry states. I came to understand that growth is not linear but helical. The goal is not to avoid lapsing altogether but to stretch the “in-between” periods a little longer and make each fall a little less steep—so that, one day, you find yourself walking on a flat and even road.
