She tells beautiful stories of life’s tragedies and how to cope with them and come out of the darkness and into the light. I’ll be using her strategies daily to bring awareness to my thoughts and compassion to my feelings. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to not only better their life, but the lives of those around them.

Julie's voice is unique. The way she tells her story gets into your mind and heart ...she's surprisingly funny and teaches through stories; throughoutshe offers excellent tools for how to use mindfulness to help you feel better and function better - even during the most challenging and difficult experiences.As a psychologist, I was aware of some of the mindfulness information that Julie presents in her book...but Julie's authenticity and style compells the reader to step it up and show up, and take their own personal mindful journey. Personally, her book has inspired me to practice mindfulness meditation daily and my life is so much better for it.I feel more centered, grounded, and comfortable in my own skin.I can hear my own voice more easily.Already, I have recommended this book to my clients and I highly recommend Julie's book to all!
