“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.” ~Joseph Campbell
I’m not the type to wear my pain on my sleeve, which is why, in all my previous books and oracle decks, I’ve written from a place of authority, as a dream expert.
I’m proud of those books, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I’ve discovered lately people seem to get more value when I reveal my “tragic to magic” stories than when I just skip to the “magic.”
I guess it's more relatable...and even empowering when I let people in on how I nearly drowned in the mud of victimhood (over and over and over) and eventually found my way to the light.
In other words, if you’re familiar with my work, you’ll notice this book is different from the others (even just from the cover.)
The collection of true stories from my life features some measure of small and large crises—shining a light on my flaws, insecurities, embarrassing and oh-so
In the meantime, I hope the title of this book (and eventually, its contents) inspire you to look for and find the gold amid any and all challenges you face.

Kelly’s Interviews:
Praise for Kelly Sullivan Walden’s
A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste:
“Death never happens, no matter what anyone tells you! There is only life… in all its iterations. I was lucky to share that with Kelly Sullivan Walden after her near-death experience, of which she writes about in this book. Once we know that life doesn’t end when the body does, we can get on with the business of living with more freedom and joy. That’s what Kelly talks about in this book—she gives us the steps and tools to transform our tragic into magic…one metaphorical or literal lightning strike at a time!”
—Dannion Brinkley, New York Times bestselling author of Saved by the Light
“A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste reveals how the darkest traumas and misfortunes of our private histories can be transformed into treasure in the form of deeper purpose. In this brave and innovative book, Kelly Sullivan Walden takes the mystery out of such alchemy by systematically revealing, through personal stories and her breakthrough 4-step method, how to face and embrace our nightmares (both waking and sleeping) in order to transmute them into fuel for creating the life of our dreams. This empowering book provides the gift of clarity—the means through which to excavate the mud of our pasts and uncover glimmers of our unique purpose for being alive.”
—Aspen Matis, bestselling author of Girl in the Woods and Your Blue Is Not My Blue
“We all face adversities, challenges, and many face crisis that leave them paralyzed. But what if in these times, the gold is hidden under the mud? Kelly ignites us with practical tools and soulful wisdom to find our inner magician to free us from our personal cage and give us wings to believe that indeed we are the alchemist of our own life! And how grand is that?! Read the treasures of this book and find your magic tools.”
—Agapi Stassinopoulos, bestselling author of Speaking with Spirit
“As Carl Jung once said, ‘One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.’ In Kelly Sullivan Walden’s latest book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste, she does just that. She not only reveals her own shadowy stories and shares how she mined the gold from them, but she leaves a trail of breadcrumbs behind, along with a system to help us take our disempowered stories and transform them into the launching pad for our greatest compassion and contribution to humanity. And she does all this with the ability to belly-laugh at the dark, making sure it has no choice but to turn into light.”
—Cyndi Dale, bestselling and award-winning author of The Subtle Body
“For many of us, one of the muddiest areas of our lives is in the realm of our intimate relationships. If we want to attract and sustain the soulmate relationship of our dreams, we need to stop glossing over our heartbreaks. Instead, we need to read Kelly Sullivan Walden’s latest book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste, to help us shine a bright light on our crippling love-life woes to transform them into WOWs—and thus, become magnetic to the love we desire and deserve.”
—Arielle Ford, bestselling author of The Soulmate Secret
“Never in history (most certainly not in my history) has the bleep hit the fan more than it has lately. I am deeply aware of the fact that life can make us either bitter or better. This is why I love Kelly Sullivan Walden’s latest book, A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste. It helps us get down to the nitty-gritty, to not just tolerate but celebrate the things in life that tip us upside down and shake us by the ankles. With Kelly’s OGLE process, you’ll learn how to quickly transform your tragic into magic.”
—Betsy Chasse, award-winning co-producer/director of What the Bleep Do We Know
“When it appears like things are falling apart, a new world is trying to emerge—a world of higher values and vision. A world that works for the highest good of all. But it can’t happen apart from us. We each need to participate in this emergence by becoming the change we want to see in the world (personally, professionally, and globally). For this reason, I’m so excited about my friend Kelly Sullivan Walden new book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste. She gets into the nitty-gritty in her simple 4-step formula to teach us all how to transform our most difficult moments into a springboard into our greatest emergence.”
—Derek Rydall, bestselling author of Emergence
Having our dream life—a life where our greatest desires come to pass—is our birthright. But it doesn’t materialize without us learning some hard lessons along the way. I prefer the easy way—don’t get me wrong—but I’m grateful for my missteps and challenges because they’ve deepened me and given me access to valuable aspects of my inner wisdom that I never would’ve discovered otherwise. To help us flip the tragic into magic, I recommend the radically simple but profound 4-step process Kelly Sullivan Walden writes about in her book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste.
—Christy Whitman, New York Times bestselling author
“I hope your life is filled with grace, ease, and phenomenal prosperity. However, if you should encounter a bump in the road or any type of difficulty, my wish for you is that you learn how to see that life is never happening to you but for you. This is one of the reasons why I love Kelly Sullivan Walden’s book, A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste. It teaches us an enlightened perspective on how to perceive our tribulations and transform them into jubilation. The medicine in her 4-step OGLE process is truly life changing. I hope this book impacts you at least half as much as it has me!”
—Marie Diamond, bestselling author and star of The Secret
“Could there be a more important time in our lives to learn the energy healing tools to pull ourselves out of the mud than now? I don’t think so. In fact, to become able to transform our tragic moments into magic moments (as quickly and thoroughly as possible) is the name of the game. This is why I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly Sullivan Walden’s latest book, A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste. This book is for anyone who wants to make the most at their difficulties to become the best version of themselves—to be able to pay it forward and make a difference on this planet.”
—Lisa Campion, bestselling author of The Art of Psychic Reiki and Energy Healing for Empaths
“From one who is no stranger to the mud, phenomenal Kelly and her amazing book is the perfect inspiration to remind us to STOP wasting our funky moments—they are so deliciously (albeit intensely) rife with learning, growing…and let’s face it, Sacred Exfoliation! I highly recommend it as a way to ensure the transformation of your tragic into your magic.”
—Allana Pratt, author of From Heartbreak to HeartMates
“Everyone in my world knows that I am a huge proponent of falling in love with our shadows. My dear friend, Kelly Sullivan Walden, has written a book of her own personal shadows and her process of not just tolerating them, but celebrating them. When I think of the world I want to live in, it’s one where we all stop glossing over or ignoring our difficulties and most painful memories, but one where we love them so much they become our access point to truly making a difference in other people’s lives and creating great meaning in our own.”
—Jo-e Sutton, author of the upcoming book Falling in Love with Your Shadows
A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste with Kelly Sullivan Walden
We talk about nightmares and about how hypnotherapy, dreaming and post-death consciousness all seem to tap into the same place which is beyond our five senses. LISTEN

My vision for this photoshoot was a fireman, an ambulance, and a mud puddle—and this “dream” completely came true. This was the craziest and funniest photo shoot I've ever done in my life. I don't know what could compare to this.
-
This is when the shoot started to get crazy--with the waterworks. I wanted to be meditating with the ambulance's blinking lights but that meditation ended abruptly as soon as the waterworks started.
-
My last thought before walking out of the house was to bring the tea set, my friend, @Jo-eSutton made for me. I didn’t know I’d really dive into the mud…but I couldn’t resist—when life brings you rain, play in the mud puddles. By the way, this is on the street from where i live! I wonder what my neighbors thought???
-
And now for the grand finale, the swamp creature emerges! This was definitely the most fun, memorable, and dirty shoot I’ve ever done! and I LOVED it!
