Purple Star emoji 18 items
These are the books that left a permanent mark on me through heartbreak, humor, hustle, or healing. As a Gen Xer, I've lived through dissociation, religion shoved in my face, and family stuck in a loop of misery… and somewhere along the way, these bo...

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK!  I am only a few pages in and have already gotten goose bumps.  (Untamed did the same thing to me). I know I'll be moved.  I know I will learn something new.  I know I will unlearn something, too.

Hands down my favorite read ever in existence! It opened my eyes to all of the rules & cages handed down to me on how to be a woman, a daughter and a mother in this world.  I used the Get Untamed Journal to help me.  Every woman should own these 2 books!
Untamed By Glennon Doyle

This journal (along with Untamed, the book) was instrumental in me working through programming that needed undoing - as far back as when I was a child.
Get Untamed Journal By Glennon Doyle

This was my very first introduction to Glennon Doyle.  Her writing style is so authentic, real and raw and her story shows us how living our truth is everything…even if it means losing everything.
Love Warrior By Glennon Doyle

This is the kind of book that you read and then want to go buy copies for everyone else to read…actually, ALL of Glennon's books are like that!  You will find yourself thinking “me too, girl” - so much to relate to as a woman.

If you haven't begun to study how your mind works, then you should start with Michael Singer.  Read all of his books.  Watch all of his videos.  I promise it will help you navigate your life with so much more understanding.  Try the workbook, too.  It always helps me to write things out.

I was so excited when this author wrote another book!  I wish I had this when I was in my 20's!  If you feel stuck, read this.  It will change everything for you.
Living Untethered By Michael A Singer

I read Untethered Soul first which had me so curious about the author, Michael Singer.  This book tells his story and it seriously would make a killer movie. What if you moved through life always saying YES to the opportunities the Universe brings you?
The Surrender Experiment by Michael A Singer

“Nothing other people do is because of you…” that quote right there! Man. How much time I spent not realizing this.  Read the book.  It's simple. But the impact is nuclear.

After reading this, there's no way you can go on living the same way.  It is profound and very deep.  I had to read things over and over for them to really sink in.

You will understand what true presence is after you read this book.  It's not an easy read, but don't give up on it. Reading this will help you break out of your programming!
The Power of Now By Eckhart Tolle

I buy this book for anyone that is stuck in cognitive dissonance - and can't see what's really going on here on this planet. Spirituality + Science + References.

This is like an encyclopedia of emotions, beautifully written to help us learn to love ourselves and others.  I read everything Brené writes and this one is my favorite.
Atlas of the Heart By Brené Brown

I already knew how to be a great leader of others…this book helped me learn how to be a great leader for myself.
Daring Greatly By Brené Brown

Why wait till your older like me before experiencing true belonging…to YOURSELF? That is the only way to show up authentically in this world.  This Book! So good.
Braving the Wilderness By Brené Brown

After reading this, you will no longer be worried about how others perceive you. No matter how many times we fail or fall, WE ARE DOING THE BEST WE CAN.
Rising Strong By Brené Brown

As a content creator, reading this book has freed me in such a big way. We attach numbers (followers - views) to how successful we are and we shrink and shrink.  God/Universe wants us to dig deep for our passions, our skills and share them because we love them…not because of “them” out there.
