There's a substantial amount of wisdom here. I love the overlying message to take accountability for our own satisfaction, and that communion with other women can contribute to that. The more I explore the subject of intuition (outwardly with books and podcasts, and inwardly by experiencing it), the more I'm wholeheartedly convinced that by listening to that unexplainable feeling, more things make sense.
I knocked one star off because I don't subscribe to the idea of reaching further satisfaction with a romantic partner 🙄

She eloquently puts into words what so many of us struggle with and identifies the core internal conflicts women face as we navigate this modern world.
