Are you ready to start living your life? Jennifer Pastiloff wrote a book that will guide your journey. Proof of Life was an eye opening read.

Reading <i>Proof of Life</i> is like sitting down with a friend who isn’t afraid to tell you the hard stuff but also reminds you that you’re not alone. Jennifer Pastiloff lays it all out: grief, divorce, love, regret, reinvention, with the kind of honesty that makes you feel like she’s talking directly to you. She’s not here to sugarcoat; she’s just telling her story, and in doing so, she makes space for yours too.

One of my favorite takeaways? You don’t have to “get back” to some old version of yourself. As she says:

“There is no resurrection of an old version of ourselves, no getting it back. What is it we think we want to get back anyway?”

This book isn’t a step-by-step guide to figuring out life, and that’s what makes it work. It’s messy, real, and full of moments that made me pause and highlight. If you liked <i>On Being Human</i> or you just need a reminder that it’s never too late to start over, this one’s worth picking up. Pastiloff hopes we all have our “I got you” people, and I think that’s something worth hoping.
