I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I love the title of this book: Beautifully Brave. There is just some kind of touchable power to that name. It has not always been a part of my life going forward to make myself happy when have always been told to put others before myself. That got me often forgotten in the shuffle of this thing we call life. This book and its exercises and affirmations showed me that it is okay for me to put me first. That I am not doing anything wrong that I am making myself healthier. It helped me look deep inside of myself and start to heal the wounds that I have been holding on too since I did not know any better that I was only hurting myself and not them. I want to be beautifully brave both inside and out. This is helping me get there.

This book takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate.

Thank you, Netgalley, for the opportunity to read an arc version of this book!

“See it, believe it, be it.”

I was drawn in by the beautiful cover and stayed for the content of this book. Visually, this book is stunning--many features make the text and highlights pop and keep the reader focused. While this book is very dense to read in one sitting (chock full of information, personal narrative, and recommendations), there are small “homework” and self-reflection sections that create a time to reflect and pause.

This book is fairly comprehensive, and there are multiple sections that I would love to share with my high schoolers--there are mantras, love notes, and prompts to support the reader in reflecting on what happens when you prioritize yourself ad what self-growth looks and feels like. One feature I also appreciate is that there are suggestions for changing your self-narrative. It includes solid, practical advice--beneficial for folks who need something that is directly actionable. Highly recommend this book!

The aesthetics of this book is gorgeous. It really fits in with the Beautifully Brave theme. Each chapters breaks down ideas that will help you have self-love and how brave that is. Each chapter has homework allowing the reader to self-reflect and see how that chapter can assist them in their life.
I enjoyed this and would recommend this to any woman.

This book is very pretty to hide the fact that it is lacking original content. I liked looking at it but wasn't super inspired by the words.

Rating: 3.5

The right book at the right time. I think it's a really good read if you are feeling in need of a self love boost.

I loved the layout and how the book is structured: this is definitely one of those books I would want to buy and hold in my hands, instead of reading it through a screen.
I loved how the chapters are well-structured, all the tips and insights followed by "homework" you can use to put the advises into practice.

I'm really glad I read it. Overall recommended.

This is a book I’ll return to time and time again for instant support. The love notes were such a great idea. Read lots of self help books in the past and this was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Going to be buying the paperback now as a gift for a family member.

I LOVED THIS BOOK. The formatting was really appealing and I love how it was broken down into sections with myths, quotes, writing prompts and chapter recaps. It was such a good reminder on how to love yourself and the importance of loving yourself. It's so easy to be kind and forgiving to others but being hard on yourself. I think my favorite chapter was Made for Self-Care. I feel like at different parts of your life different chapters will resonate with you. I would love to get a physical copy of this book to reference back to or to gift to someone!

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group, Sarah Pendrick, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review an ARC for this lovely book.
