Congratulations to @Michelle Johnson-Farley for winning her 2nd book award this season. Yesterday she was awarded the International Impact Award! for Motivation, Personal growth & Self Discipline. Brava.

Congratulations to author @Lesley Goth for earning her first public (glowing) book review. Read the full review here. My favorite paragraph of the review: "Goth doesn’t just write like a psychologist; she writes like someone shining a light for those climbing out of their emotional trenches. Her language is simple and heartfelt, never preachy or clinical, which makes it feel like sitting with a wise, loving friend. What hit hardest for me were the sections that dealt with feeling complicit. “What if I liked it?” and “What if I gave consent?” They break open the myths we often use to silence ourselves. She tackles these grey zones without judgment, which is rare and brave and necessary. The real-life stories she includes aren’t sanitized, and that’s what makes them powerful." These reviews count for so much.
