I finally felt seen

This book is a wealth of helpful knowledge. As a people pleasing , high performing, oldest daughter (IYKYK) I often lose myself in all of the day to day. I also have an 11year old daughter going through it with classmates whose interests differ greatly from hers. We have sat down and talked through principles I got from this book in how to remain her authentic self and how to respond without argument or feeling defensive. I also have what I need to make sure I am not losing myself in all the responsibilities I take on. I can’t recommend this one on Audible enough either, it felt like I was having a one on one session with Lee, and it was a breath of fresh air. I know I won’t change overnight, but I at least feel I have the tools to know what steps I need to practice.
