the why

Behind the Books

Most women reach midlife having done everything that was expected of them. Stiving, succeeding, sacrificing and kept going. And yet — somehow life feels empty.

Lots of books work evoke self-help, before self-understanding. Giving advice before understanding one’s sacred, self identity.

All of my books embody the framework of Spiritual Personality Typing ℠. They exist– not to give predictive answers — but to help you find answers that align with your true self.

Unpack your personality

Let Your Inner Light Be Your Travel Guide

Here’s what unfolds in the pages of my book

This book introduces my foundational approach, Spiritual Personality Typing ℠. As you delve into these pages, you’ll come to realize that you are not a personality possessing a soul; rather, you are a soul expressing itself through personality. Unpack Your Personality explores this concept through the lens of travel, serving as both a mirror, a metaphor, and a concierge-styled travel guide.

You’ll start to see travel as a classroom for self-exploration. Readers will also discover:

  • How spiritual personality impacts every aspect of life
  • Why certain environments can feel either uplifting or draining
  • How midlife naturally invites a re-evaluation of identity
  • Why clarity fosters compassion—for self and others
  • How to enjoy worldly pleasures while simultaneously exploring your inner self.

This book does not urge you to change; instead, it guides you into self-understanding: as a solo traveler, parent, partner, and more.

Hi, Nina Zapala

An award-winning travel career was fantastic until it took an unexpected turn.

A tsunami struck, and everything changed. I have spoken with countless women around the world and discovered that this experience was not unique to me.

We all face fears, anxieties, unfulfilled dreams, and a longing for a meaningful life, truth, and the freedom to be ourselves. The tsunami marked my transition from familiarity to a new purpose: Spiritual Personality Typing℠.

Unpack Your Personality was inspired during this transformative period, drawing from the teachings of spiritual psychologist Dr. Nix and my personal life experiences.

My hope is that this book illuminates the magic of your true self, whether you’re on a vacation or enjoying a staycation!
