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."

A Refreshing Look at Personal Growth
This book really made me take a step back and reflect on some habits I hadn’t even realized were toxic. One part that stood out to me was the section on self-reflection through journaling—I started doing the writing exercises, and it helped me see my reactions in a whole new light. I also shared some of the conflict resolution strategies with my daughter, who was struggling with a friendship, and she said it helped her approach the situation differently.

simple & practical tips
I picked up this audiobook hoping to work on some of my own habits, and I’m glad I did. It doesn’t just call out toxic behaviors—it actually provides steps to change them in a way that feels doable. The breakdown of techniques made it easy to reflect on my own actions without feeling overwhelmed.
What I appreciated most was how relatable it felt. No fluff, no judgment—just clear, actionable ways to improve emotional health and relationships. Some of the exercises were uncomfortable at first, but that’s probably a good sign! If you’re serious about self-improvement, this is a solid listen.

A Must-Listen for Breaking Toxic Patterns
This audiobook couldn’t have come at a better time as my partner and I are actively working through some toxic behaviors in our relationship. There were so many great insights and tips, but the section on texting etiquette really hit home. Since we live an hour apart, we’ve definitely seen how easy it is for miscommunication to happen over text, and this gave us practical ways to improve. I’m already sharing this with him—such a helpful resource for anyone wanting to build healthier relationships!

HELPFUL, HONEST, AND EASY TO APPLY
Gave this one a go out of curiosity and ended up really appreciating how down-to-earth and useful it was. The tips aren’t complicated or preachy—they’re actually stuff you can use in everyday situations. It helped me spot a few habits I didn’t realize were affecting my relationships and gave me tools to shift things in a healthier direction. Felt more like a conversation than a lecture, which I liked a lot. If you're into self-awareness and personal growth, this one's worth the listen.
