It’s 2006. After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Having this has been great!
I stumbled upon this audiobook when my son was having a tough time in high school. I loved how it taught me to work with my kid instead of constantly nagging him. We've been using the time management tricks, and I've noticed a considerable difference in his homework habits. The emotional regulation stuff has been great, too—there have been way fewer meltdowns lately. If you're dealing with a disorganized teen, give this a listen. It's made our home life so much smoother!

Helping teens build independence
This audiobook provides clear and practical advice for improving a teen's organization, focus, and time management skill. I appreciated that it avoids micromanaging and instead encourages independence with easy-to-implement techniques. The tip on emotional regulation was particularly valuable, giving ways on how to assist teens in coping with stress without becoming burdened. It's just so down to earth and available, and in that way, it's a great resource for parents who would like to spur their teens on to confidence and independence in ordinary life.

Helpful Tips Without Feeling Overwhelming
I listened to this during my commute after a rough week trying to help my teen stay on top of school stuff. It gave me simple tools I could actually use without adding stress. The voice was easy to follow and had a friendly tone that made the advice feel doable. What I liked most was how it focused on small changes instead of trying to fix everything at once. I’ve already seen small wins like fewer reminders needed and better planning. It helped me feel more hopeful and less frustrated.

A checklist for parents!
As a teacher of high school teens, I often encounter lost parents at their wit's end, not knowing how to advise their teens or, quite frankly, where to start! This book is jam-packed with information to guide parents on how to help their teens better themselves. From coping with stress to overcoming procrastination, parents are given tools for their toolbox. The success stories included add a warm touch too! I have recommended this book to more than a few parents I work with!

Empowering and supportive for parents
As a parent who sometimes struggles with communicating success to our teens, I found this book supportive, informational and refreshing to hear about other parents who are in the same situation as us. Sometimes we think we have all the answers just because we went through our teen years and grew up. Times have changed and continuing to learn about the generational thing's teens go through these days is enlightening.
The stories and testimonial parables from other parents were both inspiring and completely relatable. Highly recommended for any parent who just needs a little help.

Helping My Niece Grow
I got this audiobook because I wanted to support my niece in handling everyday challenges with more confidence. I know how frustrating it can be for her when things don’t go as planned, and I just wanted to give her something that could help. The ideas are simple and easy to apply, and it’s been great seeing her take small steps toward being more independent. I’m happy I found this—anything that makes her life a little easier is worth it.
