Many people prioritize logic and fear over gut feelings, leading to a disconnect from their bodies. Williams offers guidance through practices designed to strengthen and deepen the connection to oneself. Williams shares, “I had grown up with the belief that any act of caring for self was ‘indulgent’ or ‘selfish’…and needed to shed all my beliefs related to thinking this and replace these with ‘permission to prioritize’ what is important to me.”

Her storytelling is authentic and warm, making the book an engaging read. The book also offers actionable advice, empowering readers to create personalized practices tailored to their unique journeys. The movement and breath activities provide invaluable guidance for enhancing awareness and fostering self-connection.
