I think, and I say this so sincerely and genuinely, KC Davis should be canonized for writing this book. I think she deserves a Nobel prize. I think she has changed my life forever with this.

Without trauma dumping too much, I have tried to read this many times and always gave up a chapter or two in because self-compassion was simply not in the cards for me just yet and it is (rightfully so!) the crux of so much of this book’s ethos. I’m so glad I gave it another shot.
