10/10 one of my top 5 books 📕 ✨
This book was recommended to me by my therapist. I was struggling when I first started awakening and thought I was going crazy. I went back to therapy and she reassured me that I was not crazy! Everything I was going through was completely normal and actually going to change my life for the better.
