So, I have not written a review in a while (whoops) but I decided to get back on Litsy, considering a likely impending lockdown is going to give me extra time 🙃 I typically hate self-help books and I‘m not sure if this counts as one, but it really encouraged me to look inward at my own mental health and the ways it‘s shaped my life! I don‘t know much about band.o, but Gotch was a fun narrator, so I might have to do some shopping on her site now.

Loved this so so much! Jen Gotch is incredible in case you didn‘t know. I love her voice and her book really felt like a friend giving you a big hug and telling you everything will be okay and actually meaning it!

Brilliant honest book about mental health and also about female success. I found it fascinating and relatable. Jen is leading in a different way than a lot of others and I‘m relieved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
