A generation of self-help was written for a life you don’t live, by those whose lives you don’t aspire to.

As Good as the Best offers is a radically honest and radically optimistic companion for those healing from complex childhood trauma who are drawn to memoir, the science of positive thinking, mind-body practices, and spiritual concepts like manifesting and abundance —but find the mainstream versions severely lacking. Uniquely combining somatic healing practices, positive psychology, metaphysical insight, socially conscious observation, and lived experience, it goes beyond traditional self-help to serve as an empathetic mirror and shining light forward.

Through a thoughtful synthesis of practices, learn to:

• Acknowledge and validate the pain of the past before it can dissipate and transform.

• Integrate the fragmented parts of yourself so that you can feel whole.

• Find your lived experience reflected to reclaim your authentic self.

• Allow your body to participate in healing to regulate your nervous system and expand your emotional bandwidth.

• Connect to your innate ability to imagine and connect, dream and believe.

• Begin to trust others and yourself.

• Feel safer and more inspired than you ever thought possible.
