Unshakeable Confidence illuminates the cultural conditioning that adversely affects nearly all women—in body, mind, and spirit. Its reframing of codependence, learned helplessness, and relationship addiction as “othering” is groundbreaking. And, most importantly, it gives all of us precise instructions for how to come back home to our essential, healthy, confident selves. Every woman needs to know and practice what’s in these pages.

— Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of ‘Goddesses Never Age’, ‘Wisdom of Menopause’, and ‘Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom’

Highly recommended for any woman who feels stuck with insecurity.
