A great book for self-reflection and looking inwards. Great insight into the stories we tell ourselves and breaking free from limiting beliefs.

Good book to begin looking inward and working on self reflection. Gives good insight on where to start and common areas to start and areas we struggle with.

This is a beautifully-designed book, adorned with original watercolor art by Elle Luna. While I’m not a huge fan of self-help books, this one pulls my heart because it’s focused on the creative process. The authors’ main idea is that in a labyrinth, there are no wrong turns, only a continuous journey to one’s personal, creative center.

YOUR STORY IS YOUR POWER advocates for disrupting the dominant western thinking that has historically placed females in subservient (and often silent) roles. There are ways to reclaim the authentic-self center, and to heal from past injustices and life imbalances. Susie Herrick is a psychotherapist, and offers workbook exercises that are both fun and informative, for any reader ready to examine how their life has been impacted by particular intersections of cultural, family, and personal forces. This book is an affirmative companion to read while healing— whether from injury, disease, emotional malaise, or from complex pressures of living in these times. There is much to think about and discuss; a good pick to dive into at a girlfriend getaway, or as a gift.

Colourful and easy to read - designed to capture the reader’s attention. A good primer to start the inward journey into oneself, to investigate the unconscious conditionings that shape of our beliefs and being, and through confronting our shadow selves, become empowered.
This book is a good practical guide with activities and steps to explore inwards.

I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would, which is partly why I chose it. It looked like a book that would make me think, and it did just that. It's about being female and feminist and how that makes you stronger not weaker. It made me question things about myself, my past and the people who were a part of it and how we all interacted. The authors own stories were powerful and showed how it has shaped them, and they shared their own realizations as well. It made me more mindful of my place in today's world and what I could do to help myself and others. The watercolours in this book were gorgeous! I read an ebook so I am sure that the actual book will be a beauty to hold.
