Over the past five months, I have been on a journey of self discovery. I was feeling unfulfilled as a stay at home mama and longing for more! I was not willing to accept that it was okay for me to feel this way just because it’s the “stage of my life” I’m at right now. Deep down I knew I deserved more. Just because I’m a mama does not mean I have to put my dreams on hold. And, neither do you!
The majority of the books listed below have a workbook type style. You read a portion of the book and then you are promoted with thought provoking questions. I have found this style so impactful! These books have been a game changer for the journalling aspect of my morning routine and I am so excited to share them with you!
Are you ready to stop living the life you think you should and start living the life of your dreams?
Then let’s get to it.
MASTERING YOUR MEAN GIRL BY MELISSA AMBROSINI
Ohhh, this one is good! So good, I plan to come back to it again. If fear is running your life, then this book is for you. It’s all about silencing your mean girl so you can start living the life of your dreams.
LIGHT IS THE NEW BLACK BY REBECCA CAMPBELL
I could not put this book down. I read it cover to cover in a couple days. The content flows so well and it spoke directly to my heart. This book will help you reconnect with your authentic self and remind you that you are not alone on this journey. Honesty, I would have never picked this book off the shelf. Ever! I am so thankful Amanda recommended to me.
Side note: Her book, Rise Sister Rise, is on my to read list.
WARRIOR GODDESS TRAINING BY HEATHERASH AMARA
If you are like me and have very high expectations of yourself, this book is for you! Warrior Goddess Training is a very structured and easy to follow guide to releasing expectations and loving yourself exactly as you are. I know I will come back to this book time and time again.
CLAIM YOUR POWER BY MASTIN KIPP
One google search and I randomly came across an interview with Mastin Kipp. As soon as I heard his story, I knew I needed more of him in my life. Enter his book. In Claim Your Power, Mastin walks you step-by-step through a 40 day journey to finding your true purpose. This book will transform your life!
GIRL, WASH YOUR FACE BY RACHEL HOLLIS
Rachel Hollis is my girl. I am a HUGE fan! I listen to her podcast alllll the time. It’s pretty much like she’s riding shotgun everywhere I go. Basically, she’s my mentor… but she has no idea who I am (that’s totally her line!).
Side note: Once you’ve read this book, be sure to check out Girl, Stop Apologizing.
Let’s just take a quick note of the authors included in this list… 4 out of 5 of them are females! Females who unapologetically went after their dreams. So what do you say, are you ready to go after yours?
