Sarah Ban Breathnach is a best-selling self-help author who, like Martha Stewart, has parlayed her lessons into a franchise. Several appearances on Oprah helped increase her profile, and the success of her books led to founding Simple Abundance, a self-help consulting firm based on her principles. In 2003, she oversaw the release of Simple Abundance: Music of Comfort and Joy, a soundtrack that accompanies her Simple Abundance life lessons.
