MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR PERMISSION.
Permission to want more. To need differently. To stop performing contentment you do not feel. That permission is not coming from outside. It never was.
The Liberation Year is 365 daily readings for the woman ready to stop abandoning herself. One page, one day, one honest moment — across the whole length of a year.
A daily devotional for women navigating people-pleasing, boundaries, and the quiet courage of becoming more fully themselves.
From the author of Women with ADHD and Boundaries in Ink. Also the companion book: The Liberation Year Journal.

I received an advance copy and chose to leave a review on The Liberation Year by Annie M. Henderson.
Show up for a few minutes each day. Daily reflections are short and thought-provoking. When readers buy the accompanying journal, they can not only record their thoughts immediately but also conclude their yearlong odyssey with a written testament of how they've grown more connected to themselves. The magic of the book is the reader, their story, and the unfolding of who they are. Think of The Liberation Year as a personally curated reunion with the parts of oneself that have been shelved for myriad reasons.
Annie's conversational style is such that as I read the book, I heard her speaking, especially as I went deeper within the book. Can I tell you what the book's phases are? No, because they'll occur at different times based on one's lived experience. I can say that the earlier readings in the book help readers develop the habit of returning each day. As readers' personal reflections continue, they'll likely feel the shift concurrent with their lived experience.
Start with Day 1; there's no need to wait until January. When readers download or purchase the paperback edition of The Liberation Year, they'll be on their way to the version of themselves that has been waiting for them all along.
