I did not vibe with this book at first. I thought Glennon sounded a little pretentious and self-absorbed. Her description of knowing and sinking sounded 'woo woo' in a gimmicky way. She's likely wiser than I think she is.. I liked the audio. I would consider checking out the print to save passages I want to ponder some more.

January's book club choice. I listened to this twice to try to absorb everything Glennon has to offer in these pages. While I don't think any of her advice is groundbreaking in its ingenuity, I did love her use of stories and metaphors (parables?) to share lessons she's learned.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. I really enjoyed how it was a memoir meets self help book. Glennon makes a lot of powerful points that made me spend a good about of time reflecting. I also applaud how open Glennon is about her flaws and mistakes. How she is brave to write a book and change things she has stood for in the past. Because don’t we all change over time? Great read, with a lot of women’s empowerment and finding yourself advice. This book also had some LOL moments. The author became very human with her readers and that made this book more relatable and impactful.
