This book is about connecting to your true self, in the most purest soul-searching way by rising up to claim your power, not only as a woman, but as a connected, unique, strong, and loving soul. The author provides insight, wisdom, validation, ritual, art, and actions that guide you towards self-discovery and love. So soul-affirming.

I used to read a lot of spiritual books, and this year has led me to reconsider my experience of connection, pain and our 'separateness.' After about seven months of being recommended Rebecca's books by multiple people, I gave in. and read the first 3 'parts' in 3 days. Then I took some time to reflect, to pause, and struggled to read a few sections. But I reached the end, and I can certainly say it's been a while since I took so many notes. I took photographs of pages with their number to return to after, an write snippets on an envelope I used as a bookmark.
For someone new to this kind of book, it could feel a bit disjointed, and the exercises tend to focus more on a reflective questioning approach than practical tools. However, for where I am right now, that was what got me thinking.
There were a few bits where the terminology blocked me a little (I don't resonate with some of the religious phrasings), however there was so much around it holding me in that I felt able to pause a little and come back to re-engage with the message beneath the words.
I definitely haven't processed all the thoughts and 'arisings' from this book yet, and I'm definitely more used to a more hands-on practical book than this. However, I could equally say I feel I've tried the practical side for so long that a bit of the mystic won't hurt.

Chose to listen to author Campbell read her second empowering work. You can journal along with the book since each chapter offers personal reflection and action breaks. Overall an easily relatable speaker sharing many self-transformative messages.

Wow, this lady right here is off the hinges! I love her work so hard - been through both of her books this week. I read Light is the New Black in paperback and then listened to this book, Rise Sister Rise, on Audible (she has a great accent and reading voice). I ended up ordering a paperback version of this book too as I found it was hard to get through all of the inquiry prompts while listening, despite my mad scrambling to write everything down. The book is about 7 hours of listening, which I did over 2 days, but then I'd say I invested another 3+ hours in writing, so I recommend working with this book when you have time to dive deep, because if you are like me, that's exactly what you'll want to do. When I first started this book, it definitely felt a little out there. Very new age, feminine mystic, hippie chic. Then I realized I only felt that way because I was so uncomfortable with these aspects of myself and once I lowered my defenses, that's when the magic happened. These books are really about getting to know yourself and your power, not about "self improvement" or "fixing yourself." Its like every chapter (which are these small, bite sized nuggets of wisdom) there was some new insight or internal discussion that I feel has made me more attuned to myself and giving me a light to see where I am going. I can't wait until she writes another book.
