As you embark on this transformative journey of self-awareness, it is vital to recognize that healing is an intricate and personal process necessitating patience and self-compassion. While delving into the depths of our wounds empowers us to confront them head-on, we must also be mindful of the potential dangers of indiscriminate praise. Words possess remarkable power, capable of uplifting and inspiring, but also of causing harm and devastation. Hence, it is incumbent upon us to choose our words wisely, fostering kindness and understanding in our interactions, and creating a ripple effect of healing and unity. May the enlightening passages that follow illuminate your path, nurturing the motivation needed to embrace transformative change with open arms while remaining conscious of the nuanced impact of praise.

“For years in my self growth journey I thought that “thinking positivly” was what I was supposed to be doing…but I still felt like a fraud. When a friend gave me this zine of Nicole’s as part of my baby shower gift, all the peices fell into place about why I was STILL secretly struggling so much. This one shift in my thinking changed my trajectory in how I support myself emotionally and how I will be rasing my child. Seriously recommend buying and reading this.” - V. Hernandez
