I am really excited about this book! I have been a fan of Kara Lowentheil's podcast - Unf*ck Your Brain - for many years and she just came out with a book (May 2024)! She is definitely my favourite podcaster in the self-help genre and I'm excited to have the opportunity to discuss the book with you!

For a long time, Kara Loewentheil wasn’t sure why she, like so many ambitious women, still wrestled with insecurity and low self-esteem, despite two Ivy League degrees, a successful law career, and a thriving social life. After breaking down under her desk one day, she decided enough was enough.

By changing your thoughts, you can transform your emotions, actions, the direction of your life, and ultimately the world. Because when women unleash their true power, they awaken new possibilities for all of us.

Kara Lowentheil's approach focuses on incremental change. I have been listening to her work and doing her exercises since 2018 and I can honestly tell you that incremental step by step changes in my thoughts have truly changed my life and my results in ways I did not think were possible.

That being said, as always we welcome diversity of opinion and constructive criticism in this book club! Just because I like this author does not mean that you have to. I look forward to a fulsome discussion on her work and that includes criticisms or blind spots.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Please send the event host, Sarah, a direct message saying "I'm in" (aka a message confirming that you have every intention of reading the book and attending the discussion) within 48 hours of your RSVP. This helps build the commitment - particularly if we haven't met yet!
This is just an opportunity to grow in our appreciation of different books. We are certainly not going for perfection here! Even if you don't finish it, you will still be able to participate in the discussion as I always try to make the questions relatable to our own lives based on the themes. We always appreciate your attendance and your thoughts - presence over perfection :)

No need to feel shy if you’re coming alone. Most members come alone and leave with new found friendships!

Want to be an event host? It's such a fun and rewarding experience! Please message the group owner - Sarah - for further information.
Please ensure you have paid your membership dues - it is set for $2 per per person. This covers our meetup.com subscription for the year. Please send $2 to [email protected] or bring a Toonie. Sarah is tracking in a spreadsheet. Thank you so much for everyone who has contributed!!
