Low pick. It is hard when people pour so much of themselves into a book. This is a good introduction for people who are new to body positivity, eating disorders, and queer and disabled body talk. As someone who is familiar with the issues there wasn't much new for me here. A lot of the book was Instagram quippy talks.
I don't recommend the audio. There are a lot of quotes she reads from I think her IG communityand it started to be confusing.

#TuesdayTunes a day late.

Love this song about being the family scapegoat & ending generational trauma.

“Please
Handle with ease
Ironing out a 50 year old crease
This shit is not a disease I am free
Healing what's broken 'fore I'm deceased
Fertilize new branches in this family tree”

Not responsible
for other people‘s actions
despite what they say.

I try to remind myself of this every day. My brain knows this is true but my heart struggles with it. Time to let go of the anxiety. I can‘t control what other people do. 🩵💙🩵

This was an absolutely incredible book. It has helped me adjust so much. “Tiny Changes. Remarkable Results.”

(This is maybe going to be a long post)

This is totally a #blameitonlitsy - it just kept on appearing and appearing and appearing in my feed. So who am I to fight Reading Destiny? And yes, it was a good thing to listen to it. RD knows what I need.

Because I so, so needed that book. It's short and easy to read, and it has to be. It's written for people in very dark places and those often don't have the strength and energy to read big books. ⬇

Jari-chan You can skip and browse as you like and need it.

The way of deconstructing what makes you unhappy about your cho- I mean, care works, is basically the same as the one I did when I was fighting my ED. But it never occurred to me that I needed to this with my relationship with care work as well.

Even though my therapist told me to go easy on it, to think that it‘s okay that not everything‘s done, it only ever worked a little bit. ⬇

Jari-chan It still stressed me out. A lot. That‘s why I read this book. I never realized how much shame I connected to it. That I have to learn to see my dirty floor as neutral. That it doesn‘t make me a bad person or a failure.

Wow, so much learning. But it‘s already starting to do it‘s wonders. I‘m more relaxed, more accepting. And it feels wonderful.

AmyG A good book to read. I was the same. Then I began what I called “triage”. What was the most important thing to do first and so on down the line. I also learned that I am my best friend so I talked to myself with kindness and compassion-and I learned to trust myself. It all gets done eventuallly. Your “care works” are not you. 2w

Jari-chan @AmyG I'm happy to hear that you've learnt so much and are hopefully better now 🫂💖 2w
AmyG Thank you….I am so better. 2w
MaleficentBookDragon I‘m glad this book is helping you. My therapist recommended this book to me after I read Divergent Mind (another she recommended). They both have really helped me with understanding myself and to start letting go of shame. It‘s a work in progress. 2w

After being on my TBR for years I listened to the #audiobook, read by the author. While I'm not a huge fan of self help books, I thought this one sounded like one that would be worth reading. And it was. Despite quite a bit of it not really applying to me where I am in life now, there were many points that truly resonated with me. The down to earth writing style made it easy to read and the author's brutal honesty and humor made it enjoyable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

tpixie What do you think the age range was aimed for? 2w
monkeygirlsmama I think, to be honest, it's aimed more towards twenty somethings, but is definitely relatable and applicable for older women too. 5d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It‘s hard being called out on why people overshare. But this book had some good information on understanding shame and vulnerability.
