Rising Strong by Brené Brown
“Just because someone isn’t willing or able to love us, it doesn’t mean that we are unlovable.”

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb
“But part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself—to let go of the limiting stories you’ve told yourself about who you are so that you aren’t trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you’ve been telling yourself about your life.”
02
Self Compassion by Kristin Neff
“Rather than wandering around in problem-solving mode all day, thinking mainly of what you want to fix about yourself or your life, you can pause for a few moments throughout the day to marvel at what’s not broken.”

When Religion Hurts You by Dr. Laura E. Anderson
"I do believe that healing is a lifelong journey with no endpoint. However, my invitation to you is this: instead of considering that statement with dread and heaviness, what would it be like to look at is as an inivitation to spend each day leaning more into your inherent goodness - the person you were originally created to be, before you learned others' versions of who you should be."
