Fierce Self-Compassion by Kristen Neff

I recommend this book to any woman who tends to judge her own emotions, finds it hard to be kind to herself, and has low self-esteem. I have read this book twice and love that the author uses her real-life examples to help her illustrate the benefits of practicing self-compassion. I also appreciate the practical tools and skills illustrated in the book.

The Smart But Scattered Guide to Success by Peg Dawson and Richard Guare

How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis

This is a big recommendation from me if you struggle with keeping a home that helps you function and feel good, AND judge yourself for it! For folks who have ADHD or depression, or anything else that impacts your ability to care for yourself or your home, and/or struggle with guilt associated with this struggle. I found this book to be a real game-changer for me. I especially appreciate the author’s efforts to make this book a better read for neurodivergent folks. She also speaks from experience as a therapist with ADHD (late diagnosis) and a mother who struggled with postpartum.
