Send Carlene a text or voicemail
Have you ever read a book and thought, “This was written for me”?
You see yourself in every story, raising your hand and saying, “Yes, that’s me.”
There’s nothing like picking up the right book at the right time — the kind that sticks.
In this episode, I’m sharing my top 3 book recommendations from the past year.
One changed how I measure progress.
Another taught me to say yes, even when I doubted myself.
And the last gave me the tools to let go of what I can’t control.
These aren’t just “good reads.” They’re page-turners with impact — not the boring self-help books. But self-help wrapped in funny, inspirational, relatable stories.
These stories met me where I was. And they might meet you there too.
Isn’t it worth clearing some mental clutter… so you can make space for what really matters?
Now’s the perfect time to dive into one (or all three!) of these books — your next year will thank you.
3 KEY TAKE AWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ Celebrating your progress instead of punishing yourself is where momentum lives
2️⃣ Say “No” nothing changes - but a “Yes” changes everything
3️⃣ It's possible to release what you can’t control — and focus on yourself instead
So give yourself a break, curl up with your favorite warm beverage and one of these books.
