Barbara Edie

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandela

That quote sits on Barbara Edie’s desk, and is the essence of her latest book, Creating the Impossible. Barbara is a best-selling author, writer, editor and speaker. She believes we can all create what we truly want in life—whether it’s living in the South of France, a dream home by the water, climbing a mountain, or empowering children in Africa. (She’s created all of these.) However, many people do not create what they'd love because they don't believe they have the power, knowledge, or money to do so. “Creating the Impossible” is the antidote to that sense of powerlessness, and offers a inspired guide to making your vision a reality. It's like GPS for your soul's success.

Barbara is also the author of an Amazon bestseller, Sparking Change Around the Globe: 5 Ways to Make Your Difference in the World; is featured in Breakthrough! Inspirational Strategies for an Audaciously Authentic Life, with New York Times best-selling authors Janet Bray Attwood, Chris Attwood, and Marci Shimoff; and is the co-author of the Manitoba Book of Everything.

In addition to her own writing, she helps entrepreneurs, professionals, and other authors build their businesses or audiences, by telling better stories.

With a Master of Arts in journalism and more than 25 years’ experience in media and communications, Barbara has also written for numerous magazines, newspapers, and organizations, and is the former editor of three Canadian lifestyle magazines, The Cottager, Winnipeg Women, and Winnipeg Men.

A self-described “global soul,” Barbara has traveled to almost 40 countries and five continents, and has lived and worked in North America, Europe, and Australia.

Currently, Barbara lives in Victoria, on Canada's beautiful Vancouver Island.
