8 Books That Supported My Awakening (and Might Support Yours Too)

There’s something sacred about the right book landing in your hands at exactly the right moment.
In the early days of my own awakening, I found myself reaching for words that felt like permission slips, revelations, and mirrors.

These are a few of the books that helped me untangle, soften, and remember who I am. If you’re just beginning—or beginning again—may they meet you exactly where you are.

📖 The Untethered Soul – Michael A. Singer
This book opened the door to inner stillness. It teaches you how to observe your thoughts instead of becoming them—a life-changing shift if you tend to overthink or spiral.

📖 The Desire Map – Danielle LaPorte
This was my first permission slip to chase a feeling instead of a goal. Desire became a compass. Still one of my favorites for women unlearning hustle culture.

📖 The Empath’s Survival Guide – Dr. Judith Orloff
If you’ve ever felt everything a little too much—this book is your manual. It helped me name my sensitivity as a strength, not a weakness.

📖 Open Wide – Melissa Ambrosini
Feminine energy. Love. Boundaries. Empowerment. This one helped me open more fully to both intimacy and self-respect.

📖 Untamed – Glennon Doyle
Raw. Real. Revolutionary. This book is a roar—a reminder that being “good” is not the same as being true.

📖 Daily OM – Madisyn Taylor
Daily reflections that met me exactly where I was. Gentle, wise, and easy to digest—perfect for early mornings or late-night journaling.

📖 Light Is the New Black – Rebecca Campbell
This one felt like home. A call to step into your spiritual gifts and stop hiding the truth of who you are.

📖 Girl, Stop Apologizing – Rachel Hollis
Direct and motivating, this one gave me the fire I needed to stop shrinking and start showing up.

These books aren’t a map—but they are lights on the path.
Some of them felt like mirrors. Others felt like medicine.
All of them helped me come home to myself.

If you’re in that season—where everything feels like both too much and not enough—
just know: you’re not alone.
