Wake Her Up: If You Feel Like Something's Missing, It's You

by Marcella Hill, McKensey Shaw (Illustrator), Kristina Conatser (Illustrator)

I didn’t know I was losing myself over and over until I woke up. I lost myself when my marriage ended, when people didn’t like me, when my body failed me and on many days when things were simply bad.

I started to ask myself…
Who am I?

Who is the girl inside without the titles, without the fears and doubts, without my body, without my people?
Then something important changed. I learned to be still and listen.

The more I listened and got to know Her, the more She woke up. The more She woke up, the more I understood about my creation and the experience of this life.

Finding myself didn’t require a yoga retreat to Costa Rica. I didn’t spend a year as a Buddhist Monk. There was no month-long trip to Paris to paint and eat croissants. There was just me asking myself questions and paying attention to the answers. I found my true self in my regular everyday life.

Waking HER up has illuminated my life, my relationships, and changed the course of my universe.
If you never wake up, are you really alive?

There is an awakening happening within women. It’s time… are you ready to WAKE HER UP?

I have read this book three times and I still don't have the words to express it. Reading it was like sitting down with a friend over coffee and talking. It was all the stories of that friend that you could relate to and learn from. If I could be best friends with Hill I would be. This is a life changing read it was so in tone with what I needed to read at this time in my life. I highly recommend it to my friends!
5 stars I wish I could give it more.

Waking up is hard!

In reading this book I felt like Marcella is a person I would love to be friends with. A Fierce Woman who reminds herself and others to be true to who they are. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because some of the transitions were a bit confusing when jumping from the past to more present times and then back again. I’ll definitely read it again though! I do have some waking up to do.

I am not one who really loves self help as a genre. This book was refreshing and very readable. I loved the thought that there is no doing, just being. I get sucked into the checklist, being busy and have to accomplish world on a daily basis. I love shifting my focus to how I’m going to be today, not what I’m going to do. That focus is so needed in my life right now.

This read like a series of short stories. I found her thoughts and feelings relatable. The encouraging, motivational moments were also nice and had meaning and application for me. I enjoyed reading it.

I loved it. I've followed Marcella on instagram for a few years and have always been inspired by her authenticity, vibrancy, and encouragement to find yourself. This was a great read to support me in my "finding me and waking me up" era 🤩

This was a quick read with a lot of common sense advice.

Not all is relevant, some even a bit questionable but overall I recommend it if you need a little motivation.

Very little time spent on the issue I expected to be the bulk of the book

DNF. Written in a voice that I just could not listen to. I'm sure it will be a great book for someone; not for me.

I’m not an entrepreneur, so a lot of this wasn’t very relevant to me. But the message was still really good.
