It covers topics such as self-confidence, overcoming fear, and creating a life you love. I walked away feeling empowered and ready to take on my goals.

Atomic Habits by James Clear
This book explores how small, incremental changes in habits can lead to significant improvements over time. Clear provides practical strategies for building good habits, breaking bad ones, and making lasting changes in your life. Habit stacking has been vital in the development of my morning routine, losing weight, and reaching my goals

Why Men Love Bitches by Sherry Argov
Now, you might be wonder why this book is here. Argov’s book offers insight into the dynamics of relationships and encourages women to embrace their independence and self-respect. Not only is setting boundaries and being confident important for romantic relationships but also professional relationships. This book provides advice on how to be confident, assertive, and retain control.

Black Girl’s Guide to Financial Freedom by Paris Woods
This guide focuses on financial empowerment specifically for Black women. Woods offers practical advice on budgeting, saving, investing, and achieving financial independence, with a focus on overcoming financial barriers. I love the worksheets throughout this book. There are actionable and tangible steps to gaining financial freedom and this takes away the overwhelming step of daunting research.

Manson challenges conventional self-help wisdom by arguing that we should focus on what truly matters to us. Most of the time, people don’t care that much, so why should you. The book offers a no-nonsense approach to finding meaning in life, prioritizing values, and letting go of unnecessary stress.
