Are you trying always to be a better you, looking for fulfillment, but still empty - struggling to communicate and connect with others, wondering who you are? Constantly contorting yourself into who you think you're supposed to be is an exhausting reality.

She shares her companionship and tools to manage your emotions, actions, and thoughts, so you can create a more peaceful, balanced relationship with yourself and the world around you.

Feels like she’s sitting right next to me on the couch, talking to me as a friend. No shame, no demands. Only love. And God knows I now have more tools to love myself better.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,001
When it comes to the “hard seasons” of life—the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job—transformation seems impossible when grief and uncertainty dominate your days. Especially when, as Didn’t See that Coming reveals, no one asks to have their future completely rearranged for them. But, as Rachel Hollis writes, it is up to you how you come through your pain—you can come through changed for the better, having learned and grown, or stuck in place where your identity becomes rooted in what hurt you.

Bad Advice
Reviewed: 04-13-21
There are some really powerful chapters in this book. But there are also some really offensive and tone deaf chapters.
The chapters regarding handling the suicide of her brother were so overwhelmingly powerful and thoughtful.
However, there were also a lot of chapters that seemed to be about her complaining without actually giving any advice.
There was also a chapter about managing your money which angered me to my very core. To summarize the chapter basically said, being poor makes your life harder, so don't be poor anymore, especially when going through heartbreak. This chapter made me want to both vomit and throw the entire book away. She often seems out of touch with the common population.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,191
Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a season, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned at best and overwhelmed and hopeless at worst. We quietly start to wonder about the reality of God’s goodness and why he allows us to suffer and experience grief and loss. Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But after many tears, godly counseling, and prayerful seeking, she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God.

Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women not living into their full potential. They feel a tugging on their hearts for something more, but they’re afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough. In Girl, Stop Apologizing, number-one New York Times best-selling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company, Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people - whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee....

Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

Life Changing Read, Sincerely
Reviewed: 09-19-18
I have read a lot of self help books in my life. A lot. While other books have made me think differently, this book actually encouraged me to get the f up and start pursing my dreams for real. This book was the most inspiring, relatable, encouraging, uplifting group of stories I have ever read. As I continue to rise in my success, I will have this book to thank for it. I absolutely cannot wait for her next book.
