Reflective nonfiction · By LaShawn
The Courage to Live Authentically and on Your Own Terms
Recognizing your patterns matters, but recognition alone does not change your life. At some point, what you know has to become what you choose.
Inside the book
In these pages, LaShawn explores the ways we make ourselves smaller to remain acceptable, the difference between discernment and judgment, and the gap between being good and needing to be seen as good.
He examines what it means to hope for change without abandoning reality, what happens to our relationships when we grow, and what it takes to finally let ourselves be seen.
Reflection within each chapter
Each chapter closes with Before You Step Into It, a set of honest questions to help you move from insight to action without self-blame, without performance and without waiting to feel ready.
Reflection is part of the book itself. No membership or separate workbook purchase is required.
From the book’s description
“You do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. You have to be willing to participate.”
