My Diary Unlocked is a diary based self-help book for teen girls, their mothers and all women who carry unhealed wounds from their inner adolescent into adulthood. Through raw and real diary entries woven together with guidance and wisdom to emerge triumphant above the struggles, the book imparts the value and power of sharing your personal inner truth as it provides tools to raise self esteem and empower girls and women to live authentic lives. It presents a rarely seen, deeply intimate glimpse into the inner world of teenage girls, shedding light on concerns haunting parents and children alike. Unlike most books aimed at helping teens and women survive and ultimately thrive during this tumultuous time, My Diary Unlocked provides a direct window into the hearts and souls of teenage girls who never considered they would someday decide to share their privately written words. Their thoughts and feelings strike a chord in anyone searching for meaning and identity, for they resonate with an inner vibration of truth and send a message that you are not alone. This book brings to life the gut-wrenching, serious, funny, heartbreaking, heartwarming and liberating experiences typical during the adolescent years. This range of emotions is also felt by boys, and although they do not journal as much, they and their parents can learn, grow and reap the benefits of this book as well. Each chapter explores one of the many issues that have occupied the minds and hearts of teenage girls for decades, if not centuries: body image, eating disorders, family, relationships, romance, sexuality, pregnancy, self-esteem, bullying, addictions, coping with loss, change and even death. Then, in an effort to light a path through the struggles, diary entries are followed with insights, inspiration and practical action steps contributed by some of today's leading authorities on human potential, parenting and teen issues. Reflections shared by the diarists themselves reveal the resilience of the human spirit as they offer inspiration and encouragement to those walking a similar path. Action steps are shared to rekindle the feminine qualities of compassion, empathy and understand for all of humanity.

I’ve been practicing their strategies, and it’s a total game changer.”—Brené Brown, PhD, author of Dare to Lead “A primer on how to stop letting the world dictate how you live and what we think of ourselves, Burnout is essential reading [and] . . . excels in its intersectionality.”—Bustle This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men—and provides a roadmap to minimizing stress, managing emotions, and living more joyfully. Burnout. You, like most American women, have probably experienced it.

You’ll learn • what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle • how to manage the “monitor” in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration • how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies—and how to defend yourself against it • why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are keys to recovering from and preventing burnout With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in Burnout—and will be empowered to create positive change.
