Скачать или смотреть 9 Books to Read When You’re Ready to Grow

Today we’re talking about one of the great loves of my life: READING! Specifically the 9 books (fiction and non-fiction) that have helped me heal over the past year. The first half of this episode is a rapid-fire review of eight of my favorite healing, personal growth, and self-discovery books, and in the second half, I do a deep dive on the book I’m currently reading: THE MYTH OF NORMAL by Dr. Gabor Maté.

Whether you're navigating burnout, grief, self-discovery, or just want to feel more grounded — there's something in here for you.

🌱 Books mentioned:
✔️ Healing books
