I thought for sure that this would be another book I read that I felt I had already read (based on how many related books I've read in the past few years on this topic), but, even though the themes and learnings were so familiar, I loved this entire book. I ended up buying it only a couple of weeks into the library version as I know now that, once my "flags to come back to" start building through each chapter, it's going to be a book I refer to again and again. Thank you, Sheleana.

Lots to process, really generous sharing and learning from the author. Will reread when I'm in relationship and see how I've incorporated the practices.

Becoming the One is a self-help book focused on doing inner work to heal relationship patterns, reconnect with your body and intuition, and find your authentic self.
I read this book while participating in a therapeutic book club, which has become an extremely important part of my healing journey. This was the first book we read, and it was DEEP. I had to take a bit of a break from the book and return to it later, in a good way. The work that the book takes you through can get very emotional, intense, and personal if you're willing to really focus on it. The therapeutic book club helped that accountability of "doing the work" instead of just reading the book and not diving deeper. The weekly meetings provided me with a designated 2 hours to put the readings into practice. Just reading this book wouldn't have been enough for me. I definitely needed to spend time focusing on implementing the reading.
If you're willing to dive deep into your past and put in the work, this is an amazing book to help you on your healing journey.

I have been following Sheleana on Instagram for a few years now and would stop scrolling to read through her posts every so often. When I saw she was writing this book, I went out and bought it the day it was released because I knew it was going to hold an abundance of valuable information and wisdom. I’m working on connecting with myself on a deeper level and setting aside the time to do things for myself and by myself because I’ve always struggled with that. I’m so glad I read this not only for the relationship with myself, but for all the relationships in my life. So many great takeaways and so many thought provoking questions to strengthen your connection with yourself and others.
