Choose Your Self is not just a book—it’s an awakening. Megan Sherer has written a compassionate, deeply insightful, and empowering guide for anyone who has ever felt lost in the noise of other people’s expectations. Her message is simple yet radical: choosing yourself is the most important decision you’ll ever make.

As a licensed therapist, Megan brings both clinical understanding and heartfelt authenticity to every page. She writes with the gentleness of someone who’s walked the hard road herself—and the strength of someone who’s come out the other side with wisdom to share. Each chapter is layered with vulnerable storytelling, therapeutic insight, and reflection prompts that meet you right where you are.

What I especially appreciated was the book’s balance between emotional honesty and practical tools. This isn’t just theory—it’s a blueprint. Megan doesn’t just encourage healing; she guides you through it. Whether you’re setting boundaries for the first time, recovering from burnout, or simply learning how to say "no" without guilt, this book gives you the courage and clarity to do so.

Choose Your Self is a must-read for women navigating transitions, growth, or healing. It will speak to anyone who’s tired of shrinking themselves to fit into places they’ve outgrown. It's a book I’ll return to often and recommend widely.

Even as a married woman, this book resonated with me. I truly believe that anyone, in all walks of life, can gain something from this book. The audio was done very nicely and it made for an enjoyable listening experience. I plan to buy a few paperback copies to save to give to my daughters one day! Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC.

I really found this book helpful in forming a better relationship with myself. Regardless of being single or not, it’s so important that we have a great relationship with ourselves and prioritize our wellness otherwise people won’t get the best version of us.

This book shows great examples of finding out how to love yourself from an author who got there herself. I really enjoyed the audiobook and could see myself returning to it for nuggets of insight.

Apparently I’m in my “powerful single girl era” because I’ve picked up a number of books on this topic lately. This one was really powerful and held some really great information. Yes some bits and pieces were a pretty surface level dive but there was just so much that anything deeper would have made the book too long and unwieldy. The author is also a pretty solid narrator of her own work. My only major negative though is that for me this book would work better as a physical book instead of audio. There’s too much to process, too many journal prompts and exercises, to keep track of aurally. I would have preferred to be able to highlight and annotate.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC audiobook in exchange for an honest review. The layout was really nice, made it super easy to follow the book. It opened my eyes to some aspects of myself I didn't realize I had. It motivated me to put myself first in most situations, guided me to heal old wounds and trust myself as well.

Reading Choose Your Self felt like having a heart-to-heart with a friend who just gets it. Megan Sherer’s tone is so comforting and down to earth, but also full of wisdom and truth. I loved how this book didn’t just speak at me—it spoke to me.

This is such an empowering read for anyone who’s learning to put themselves first. It’s a guide for how to set boundaries without guilt, listen to your intuition, say no without apologizing, and really figure out what brings you joy. I especially appreciated how practical it was—it’s not all theory. The exercises and reflections felt doable and meaningful.

Whether you’re single or not, this book is a powerful tool for reconnecting with yourself and building a life that feels aligned and joyful. It’s a gentle push in the direction of self-trust and healing. Highly recommend!

This is a book to focus on your self as a part of self care and understanding to love yourself first. By "Choosing yourself first" you will find the path to the only love affair that you will ever need in life. The author goes into tips and tricks to try to regenerate the discussion you have with yourself to boost yourself as you would your best friend. This book is not revolutionary but does restate many thoughts in a different more easily to understand way. This book should be for everyone man, woman and child as there is so much that social media does to keep people in contact but it also only shows one perspective because people don't usually post photo's of people fighting, disagreeing or falling apart, by showing steps to really focus and love yourself this book helps to place focus on personal growth. Thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley.

Wow! I loved everything about this book. As someone who is NOT single, every part of this book resonated with me. Please don’t let the word “single” keep you from reading this book. Being a woman on a healing journey, this book spoke to my soul. I had many “ah ha” moments while listening.

This was one of the best self-help books I’ve ever read. The author did a great job making the book relatable and using everyday examples. The “try this” sections were practical and tasks people can actually do that won’t take up too much time.

I listened to the audiobook, and immediately ordered the paperback when I finished. This will definitely be a reread for me! The author also has a podcast I discovered after listening to this book called Well, Then.

Layout of the book was very nice and made it easy to follow along as a reader, especially as a reader with dyslexia!

Read it due to being recently single and it is quite motivating! Advice and general style of writer flowed well.

Thank you to NetGallery and Megan’s team for the opportunity to read this!
