Found this book on lemon8 and knew I HAD to read it

I read it -the first time- in one sitting. I felt so connected to it. I related to every page this book offered.

The second time I read it, which was immediately after, I took the time to really reflect on that connection and figure out what my next steps were.

I’m sure this will be a book I come back to often.

10/10, I definitely recommend for anyone wanting to become the best version of herself 🩷

One of my favorite quotes:

I’m allowed to walk away from shit that hurts me, even if it once felt like home.

Simple, practical, and highly relatable!

This book was an incredibly easy read that made complete sense from start to finish. Unlike other self-help books that overwhelm you with theory, Brooklyn Simpson provides advice that seems genuinely easy to apply to everyday life. It is the perfect, no-BS guide for any woman dealing with burnout. Highly recommend!

A decent self-help/personal development book. There were some great points throughout, however felt like there was nothing too groundbreaking in there. Just a simple guide really.
