challenging hopeful inspiring fast-paced

4.0

I think that overall this book is empowering and uplifting. Listening to the audiobook where Glennon narrates her own work was especially wonderful in getting to know her voice as a person and as a writer. My only real critiques are that some of the language is repetitive and it can veer a bit toward what we now recognize as toxic positivity, some echoes of Rachel Hollis's "Girl Wash Your Face." However, that seems too two-dimensional. Glennon inspires us to know ourselves, to find our truth and live in it, to give ourselves permission to unhear all of the voices that say "can't" or "shouldn't" in our lives and explore our own voices. I think that if you're already comfortable with hearing your own voice, it may seem redundant, but it's a good reminder. If you aren't comfortable with hearing your own voice, I think there's a great value in Glennon sharing some tips in how to listen. (copied from my Goodreads review)
