Thank you for the opportunity to read this book。 It wasn't quite what I expected， but I ended up enjoying it and learning from it。 It is jam packed with amazing stories that tie in so well with the sections。 I will definitely keep an eye out for this book once it has been published。 Thank you for the opportunity to read this book。 It wasn't quite what I expected， but I ended up enjoying it and learning from it。 It is jam packed with amazing stories that tie in so well with the sections。 I will definitely keep an eye out for this book once it has been published。 。。。more

We all have healing to do from something - whether that something is fresh and raw， keeps resurfacing， or tucked away deep in the past。。。this book is for you。 I've been deep into books about healing in the last several months， and I've found value in all of them。 However， this is one that I will come back to again and again。 In the last several years my eyes have been opened to the benefits of journaling and mindfulness， but for some reason this book connected with me in a way that made those pr We all have healing to do from something - whether that something is fresh and raw， keeps resurfacing， or tucked away deep in the past。。。this book is for you。 I've been deep into books about healing in the last several months， and I've found value in all of them。 However， this is one that I will come back to again and again。 In the last several years my eyes have been opened to the benefits of journaling and mindfulness， but for some reason this book connected with me in a way that made those practices even more accessible and enjoyable and healing than I had previously found them。 No matter what you are going through you will find hope， power， and healing through the interviews， journal prompts， and practices in this book。 It is one I know I will return to over and over。 And， did I mention the physical book is GORGEOUS！？ I can't wait to get my hands on one and will as soon at it releases in a few days。 Thank you @netgalley @chroniclebooks and @snailbooks for the opportunity to read an ARC。 。。。more

I truly loved this book。 The book does not focus solely on the importance of healing。 It's about so many things。 Things that I can actually learn about in real life。 This book as well as another book and also a podcast “The Morning Walk” with another host are amazing and quite helpful。I wanted to say thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a review。 I truly loved this book。 The book does not focus solely on the importance of healing。 It's about so many things。 Things that I can actually learn about in real life。 This book as well as another book and also a podcast “The Morning Walk” with another host are amazing and quite helpful。I wanted to say thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a review。 。。。more

Self book bothers me a lot but standing on despair I would forcibly make myself read one and so I chose this。This did not disappoint me at all。Specially how it explained having triggers on page 23 mesmerised me。But at the middle I kind of found the book advising in an typical manner not like the way it started with grace。 For some people like me， it kind of triggers and so I think a little different narration would be comfortable but again it's fine as everyone has a different healing style。I ap Self book bothers me a lot but standing on despair I would forcibly make myself read one and so I chose this。This did not disappoint me at all。Specially how it explained having triggers on page 23 mesmerised me。But at the middle I kind of found the book advising in an typical manner not like the way it started with grace。 For some people like me， it kind of triggers and so I think a little different narration would be comfortable but again it's fine as everyone has a different healing style。I appreciate this book bringing me comfort。Thanks author。 。。。more

I first heard of Alex Elle on Instagram and have been a fan ever since so I was excited to find that she had a new book coming out。 This is the first book that I've read by her and it was amazing。 How We Heal was a much-needed book and it came at the perfect time for me。 I really enjoyed reading the mini-essays and interviews of other writers， artists， activists， etc。 It was really interesting to read stories about healing and the different ways that Alex as well as the other individuals mention I first heard of Alex Elle on Instagram and have been a fan ever since so I was excited to find that she had a new book coming out。 This is the first book that I've read by her and it was amazing。 How We Heal was a much-needed book and it came at the perfect time for me。 I really enjoyed reading the mini-essays and interviews of other writers， artists， activists， etc。 It was really interesting to read stories about healing and the different ways that Alex as well as the other individuals mentioned in the book practice healing。 The journaling prompts， and meditation techniques were so good。 I found myself highlighting so many pages especially the journaling prompts。*Thank you Netgalley for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review。* 。。。more

I only knew Alex Elle from her poetry， but when I noticed this title， I had to check it out。 I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the wisdom shared from a collection of women， some I've admired and others who are new to me and thus I'm excited to meet。 The exercises and meditations that are also peppered throughout the book are very tangible takeaways and thus I plan to revisit this book for sure and am hoping that there may be a cool audiobook version， as well。 What I loved most of all abou I only knew Alex Elle from her poetry， but when I noticed this title， I had to check it out。 I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the wisdom shared from a collection of women， some I've admired and others who are new to me and thus I'm excited to meet。 The exercises and meditations that are also peppered throughout the book are very tangible takeaways and thus I plan to revisit this book for sure and am hoping that there may be a cool audiobook version， as well。 What I loved most of all about this book is that， while I've read a lot about healing， this seemed like the one piece that really didn't talk about healing as having any sort of endpoint， but it focused a lot on how it's an ongoing process that requires time， breaks， letting go of things， finding joy， and more。 I think that it's also universal enough that it could easily apply to the teens I serve as much as it does to older adults。 。。。more

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an advance reader's copy of this book。I'm always a bit wary of self-help books， because they're full of a lot of words that feel utterly meaningless （I'm sorry， things like "hold space" just get on my nerves -- what does that really mean？） I will admit I found some of that here， even though I think the author's work is important （on social media， on her podcast about walking， and in this book）。 What I liked about the book was that she included intervi Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an advance reader's copy of this book。I'm always a bit wary of self-help books， because they're full of a lot of words that feel utterly meaningless （I'm sorry， things like "hold space" just get on my nerves -- what does that really mean？） I will admit I found some of that here， even though I think the author's work is important （on social media， on her podcast about walking， and in this book）。 What I liked about the book was that she included interviews with other influential women on how they heal themselves， and there were some great concrete steps to take in those interviews。 Much of this book is centered around journaling as a healing process， which can be great but can also not work as well for everyone as this book suggests。 I did get some nuggets of wisdom in this book that I can carry forward， and I would recommend it to anyone doing some self-exploration and trying to work toward their best life。 。。。more

This was a lovely， much needed read and handbook/guide on self-care and healing。 Alexandra Elle infuses compassion， empathy， grace and hope into each of the sections of the book， while inviting readers to take the baby steps needed in order to heal。 Between chapters， you're given an interview with magical humans like Nedra Glover Tawwab （therapist， author， relationship expert）， Nneka Julia （writer， photographer， podcast host）， Chrishelle Lim （fashion stylist， lifestyle & beauty blogger， digital This was a lovely， much needed read and handbook/guide on self-care and healing。 Alexandra Elle infuses compassion， empathy， grace and hope into each of the sections of the book， while inviting readers to take the baby steps needed in order to heal。 Between chapters， you're given an interview with magical humans like Nedra Glover Tawwab （therapist， author， relationship expert）， Nneka Julia （writer， photographer， podcast host）， Chrishelle Lim （fashion stylist， lifestyle & beauty blogger， digital entrepreneur）， Tabitha Brown （actress & social media personality）， Dr。 Yaba Blay （professor， scholar-activist， public speaker， cultural worker & consultant）， and more！ Alexandra asks them about their pillars of healing and self-care， and it's refreshing to read that though they are all such accomplished， admirable women， they may be going through similar internal struggles as us！ They don't give watered down， overarching advice of "drink more water" or "treat yourself"。 It's not condescending or trivializing; it's empathetic and authentic。 In each chapter， Alexandra Elle poses activities through （a） journaling （b） breathwork （c） meditation。 I noted each of these in my own notebook so I could revisit them。 Some of them may be activities you have tried before if you're a seasoned "self-care researcher" like I am （not academically， but I am constantly looking for this type of information -- through articles， books， podcasts， movies， I'm overly committed to healing my inner child & unlearning the internalized misogyny/racism/general meanness to myself）。 However， I am excited to try the new ones and I am so appreciative of Alexandra providing these tools for us。Even if you don't "believe" you need "healing" at this moment in time， I think this book is for you。 If you're already a healing/self-love expert， it's a good reminder。 If this is your first step in your healing journey， then it is PERFECT！ Sending you love & light in the days ahead & I'm ever so grateful to NetGalley for providing the ARC & to Alexandra Elle for writing such a beautiful book。 。。。more
