The Selfish Bookclub - we start tomorrow!
Is it time for you to step up and start to play BIG?
“At last this important book has been written… it will empower legions of women to step into their greatness”.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Hello you!
Tomorrow for my Gather & Grow members comes The Selfish Bookclub V:2 - and this time we are reading Playing Big - with the first chapter being the very juicy ‘The Inner Critic’.
PLAYING BIG is a call to women to step into their power. it looks at some incredibly important areas such as dealing with fear, unhooking from both praise and criticism, how to end good girl/ student habits, taking leaps of faith, tapping into our wise self our intuition, how to stop hiding our talents and oh… so much more!
All too often, talented women hide way, feel unable to take risks, articulate what they want and hold back from taking action that could really serve them - for fear of criticism perhaps or an inability to deal with their own inner critic. Or thoughts of failure and our old friends and obstacles perfectionism and procrastination.
But ask yourself; what could you achieve if you were confident enough to take some risks? How much more fulfilled would you feel if you were more able to ignore other people's perceptions and forge your own path?
PLAYING BIG is a book to take your time with, embed the learning, start showing up for yourself to do the work so that you can shift and grow - all in the company of The Selfish Book Club community* and me! So let’s go?
If you’re not already in the membership, now’s the time to upgrade - it’s currently £7.50 a month or £65 for a whole year. PLUS you can grab yourself a 7 day free trial at the moment, so sign up today, join in with the first chapter - see what you think!
We start tomorrow, and throughout the rest of August, September and most of October, we will be slowly working through PLAYING BIG and squeezing out all the juice.
Don’t worry about holidays etc. I mean SLOW. You will not get behind or miss the boat!
Every chapter, I will send you a new worksheet or workbook with thoughts, ideas and journaling prompts to help you make the most out of that chapter. There will probably be voice notes too for those who like them.
In addition this time there will be THREE workshops to help us explore the wisdom in the book further. These are live and recorded and are as follows:
Your Inner Critic- live on Sunday 8 September at 4-6pm UK time
Your Inner Mentor - live on Sunday 6 October at 4-6pm UK time
Fear Setting - live on Sunday 20 October at 4-5.30pm
There will also be a midpoint bookclub chat session and another as we finish the book. These will be weekday evenings as there are only so many Sundays I can do ;)
Tuesday 17 September 7pm UK time
Tuesday 29 October 7pm UK time
I hope you are pleased with the choice and already curious as to what a difference it might make to your life, work and creativity.
Please do try to get the book from your local independent bookseller - in the UK you can use this website and in the US this website if you’re not lucky enough to have a great indie near you. It’s also on Kindle and other e-readers and there is an audiobook which I believe is available free to those with a paid Spotify account.
And remember, your membership to Gather & Grow also allows you to attend monthly journaling get togethers and to receive regular resources around productivity, habits and creativity.
See you tomorrow?
With love,
