Indestructible

Welcome to Krista Nerestant’s journey from the other side of the globe—the islands of the Philippines—to the United States of America. In Indestructible, she shares the hidden gifts of trauma that have empowered her not just to survive but to thrive in a life most would have given up on. These pages contain her hard-won understanding of how it’s possible to extract life-healing lessons from each of life’s obstacles—even a violent past.

As a young woman, Krista was a traumatized overachiever bound by the cultural and societal limitations of the developing nation in which she was raised. But coming out as a spiritual medium unearthed for her the many resources she had in her emotional arsenal, and inspired her to embark on a healing journey. In this candid memoir she brings readers along with her through the many trials of adversity she’s faced—as well as her moments of triumph and healing.

A book that will inspire readers to seek the presence of the Hero within and begin to create the life they want, Indestructible reveals that the power of choice—belief, perspective, feeling—is the ultimate resource.
