This book was recommended to me by a friend, that it would speak to me where I am in my life. She was both wrong and right. I could see that Glennon was going through a personal crisis and facing a divorce. However I couldn't relate to her indecision and inability to see herself. When I left my ex-husband things made sense again, there was no indecision or doubt. I could relate to her sense of loss, and once she found her inner warrior that made sense, but the difference is my warrior appeared the night I left and I walk the path to this day. I knew from the start the healing had to start with me, for my children. I can relate to her feeling of not belonging and inadequacy, I have my own self esteem issues, not going to try and cover that up. But it seemed like she had a much further journey than I did, where she ended is where I started at. It felt like she was confirming things I already knew, not opening my eyes to a new view. And maybe that was my mistake, my friend made it seem like there was great insight in this book, which there is, but it is insights I discovered over a year ago and it didn't speak to me as much as I thought it would.
