I bought and listened to this book on Spotify. It's narrated by the author who has an Australian accent. This book really got me thinking about how to ask for what I need. It made me rethink my past and why it was so difficult to ask. I made some progress with asking after reading this book. Now, I have a bunch of tools under my belt.

I got interested in Kemi's work after I did a meditation that really made think about life. This book impressed me. Kemi goes in depth as to why we do not ask and why we should, in an honest and kind way. I don't have the words to express why this book moved me to my core.

New year, new me etc. Feeling inspired to ask for what I want instead of consistently “going with the flow”.

This was a great read and really made me think back on life and some of the reasons as to why I didn’t ask. I loved the chapter where it went through the right way to ask. I noticed that sometimes I don’t ask if the right way and need to work on it
