this book is packed with wisdom and practical help

Revisado: 02-19-21

This is one of the best books I’ve read related to mental health, story work, and growth. It combines the most solid research-based information about attachment and interpersonal neurobiology with compassionate practical helps to apply these truths to your own story of brokenness and redemption. I am a Christian and a therapist as well, and I appreciated the author incorporating her own Christian faith as part of the healing journey. Faith and the Bible are not used to dismiss or for spiritual bypassing, which I greatly value. I listened on audible, read by the author, and she has a delightful speaking voice and cadence. I will, though, buy the physical book because this will be a resource for years to come.

it will revolutionize your mornings.

Revisado: 02-20-20

I loved, loved, loved this book. Kat's take on a morning routine was revolutionary in my life. This is not a "get your act together", get up super early, and do all the things kind of book. She suggests an "anchor habit" of a 3 minute morning following a GOD- PLAN- MOVE model. That three minutes, that can be done anywhere, on any crazy day, at any time, can then be expanded into a whole lot more. This has been true in my life. The concepts of Hello Mornings have changed my morning rhythms, my night rhythms, and other areas too.

The audible version was so nice to listen to. Kat has a soothing voice and great pace and it allowed me to take in the book at a great pace. I'm sure it will re-listen at some point.

A great book, not a great listen. read instead.

This book was solid in many ways. It's the pep talk we all need to face our fears and answer God's call. I really appreciate Jess's message that is so much more centered on God's ability than ours. She speaks to fears and gives good encouragement for naming God's call in our lives and taking the bold next step of faith.

Unfortunately, a few chapters in, her cadence, her tone turns preacher style and continues the rest of the book. Suddenly I felt much less like I was "reading" a book and felt like I was sitting in a full audience. There is an odd pause between words, a strange staccato, and sometimes she gets really fast almost out of breath. I just found myself only being able to take it in doses and wanting to get through it, rather than savor it. I would have appreciated a heartfelt reading more calmly. Let the material speak for itself, because the message is good.

I recommend this book highly if you are stuck in fear, wondering if you are the right person for your big dream or goals. It's a great book. However, if you can, READ it with your own eyes yourself. I would pass on the audible, or at least proceed with caution.

the title says most of what you need to know

I didn't love this one. The concept is fairly simple... endings are necessary. That sums up the book. I found it hard to get through it because of redundancy. At the time that I listened to it, I was contemplating a big change. The book didn't necessarily help me think trough that change or add much to my thinking. I quit about 75% of the way through. I just couldn't finish.

Loved the book. Practical and thought provoking ideas shared in a way that is encouraging. I’ll be listening to this one again, and I’ve also started listening to the podcast. Emily has a great speaking voice.
