When we were planning the episode for the month, I knew I wanted to share with you books that I felt so perfectly aligned with StrongHer.me that I wish I had written them myself. These books represent a specific part of my own spiritual growth journey. Many of my own core values and beliefs about calling are expressed in these books. Once you’ve listened to this episode, I hope you will share a book that communicates one of your core values as a leader. // Show Notes Ready to Rise: Own Your Voice, Gather Your Community, Step Into Your Influence by Jo Saxton  The Emotionally Healthy Woman: 8 Things to Quit to Change Your Life by Geri Scazzero The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene' Brown Successful Women Think Differently by Valorie Burton // July #WorkYourPlan Book Club Selection: "The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life" by Edith Eger Edith Eger is a clinical psychologist and a Holocaust survivor. In the Gift she explains that the worst prison she experienced is not the prison that Nazis put her in but the one she created for herself, the prison within her own mind. She describes the twelve most pervasive imprisoning beliefs she has known—including fear, grief, anger, secrets, stress, guilt, shame, and avoidance—and the tools she has discovered to deal with these universal challenges.  Accompanied by stories from Eger’s own life and the lives of her patients, this book captures the vulnerability and common challenges we all face and provides encouragement and advice for breaking out of our personal prisons to find healing and enjoy life.
