Bookshelf

I’ve often thought about sharing my favourite books and podcasts. I had a grand plan to make a special tab on my website for resources and links. And I would still love to do that sometime. However, life is really busy- not just for me but for most people. Sometimes it is important to move ahead and just “do the thing” rather than focusing on the exact vision in your mind. So for now, here is a list of books I frequently recommend to clients, friends and family looking for information, support, or a fun read. I had ideas of ranking them… keeping it to 5 books in each category… or many other ways of organizing but here it is off the top of my head. There are also so many other books I have read and enjoyed! And these are in no particular order. You may also find these on other folks “real” book lists.

Personal Growth & Development:

Anything by Brene Brown- in particular- The Gifts of Imperfection and Braving the Wilderness. She also has two amazing podcasts and multiple other books and resources.
