Gene Keys: Embracing Your Higher Purpose by Richard Rudd, Jennifer M. Dixon
3.0
Great resource to learn more about your gifts & shadows! I would consider a paperback version instead of the audio book because the content is heavy to integrate and contemplate. I had to listen some passages twice to digest them.
Tell Me Everything by Minka Kelly
5.0
I didn’t know much about this actress but I felt deeply called to listen to her story and I am glad I did. She shares her traumas and healing journey with vulnerability, grace, and a touch of spirituality. She experienced abuse, neglect, and abandonment, and I admire her bravery and emotional intelligence.
Her memoir is a gentle reminder to approach motherhood, sisterhood, friendship, and the relationship to Self with more love, kindness, and compassion.
She is an inspiration and a beautiful soul.
I recommend the audiobook to feel the emotion in her voice. Some chapters made me cry.

Spirit Babies: How to Communicate with the Child You're Meant to Have by Walter Makichen
5.0
The wisdom of humanity is hidden in this little gem.
The only challenge is that the meditations might be difficult to practice, audio meditations would be more practical.
It’s a book for the intuitive and open-minded. If you are seeking scientific evidence, this resource is not for you.

Untamed by Glennon Doyle
3.0
Doyle experienced a lot in a her life and broke out of her cage, her courage is admirable. I took out a few interesting points but I do not relate to her as I didn’t grow up in White Christian privileged America and I am not a parent. However it was interesting to read her perspective and journey.
I appreciate her addressing many uncomfortable societal issues through her lens. She managed to do it with humility and respect.
I struggled with her writing style (which is a personal preference) as the reader must often read between the lines. She shares an anthology of memories but I miss structure and explicit conclusions.

The Idea of You by Robinne Lee
3.75
The first 30% of the book depicts a physical romantic relationship and drags on with their carnal needs; it is plain and primal. However the plot eventually becomes interesting when the mental and emotional layers are later weaved in. Solène faces a real dilemma: should she surrender to her heart or her reason?
The author made me reflect on silent societal issues and taboos: the madness of social media (and privacy), the meaning of Art, the invisibility and cruelty towards aging women & mothers. This conversation on womanhood is important.
I must point out that the characters are not mainstream. Hayes is a particularly mature and confident young adult and Solène is blessed with physical beauty, luxury, and intelligence. These characters are the exceptions.
I look forward to the movie adaptation; thankfully they selected a good cast!
I would rate this novel 3.5 stars
