Becoming A Lion
Artist, animal therapist, and global storyteller Liz Mannchen releases her much-anticipated debut book Becoming a Lion, a powerful and poetic guide to transforming personal struggle into courage. Published by Pegasus, this self-help and personal development book invites readers on a journey of metaphor, story, and self-discovery—with animal instincts leading the way.
Blending visual storytelling with deeply personal reflections, Becoming a Lion explores how we deal with conflict, fear, grief, identity, and resilience. Through the lens of animal metaphors—learning to face conflict like a wolf, transform fear like a bat, or carry burdens like a tortoise—Mannchen helps readers navigate emotional terrain in bold and healing new ways.

In a world overwhelmed by fear, burnout, and self-doubt, Becoming a Lion offers a fresh and wildly imaginative toolkit for emotional growth. At a time when many are questioning how to keep going—how to heal, how to stay soft but strong—this book shows that strength isn’t about control. It’s about connection: to yourself, your story, your community, and the courage that’s been inside you all along. Mannchen’s blend of metaphor and emotional depth gives readers a tangible, empowering way forward.
