Currently Reading: The Pivot Year✨

Ok so technically I’m *listening* to this book on audible but I just love it so far. Brianna Wiest’s books always seem to come along right when I need them.

If you’re feeling stuck- this book is for you!

I love the way this book is broken down into days 1-365, it makes it so much easier to digest the concepts! Each day is a new idea that usually starts off with something like “what if…”

What if you’re not supposed to be good at things right away?? What if you’re actually supposed to be bad at them at first? 🫨🤯💥

Are they concepts I’ve never heard before? No. But I DESPERATELY needed the reminders, I think a lot of us do. She touches on what we should and should not accept for ourselves, how we stand in our own way, how we should give ourselves grace- all with compassion and deep understanding of what it’s like to feel stuck.

This book is so inspiring and comforting at the same time. It’s helping me make small changes in my life without shaming me into doing it like some self help books.

I’m not finished with this book but I am already so grateful for its impact on me. Briana Wiest never misses 😭❤️
