oday is one of the most exciting days of my life! Radical Self Love: A Guide To Loving Yourself and Living Your Dream is officially launched and available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Photos of the book have been flooding in from all over the world. It is truly amazing to me.

This book has been a long time coming: the original manuscript was written in 2009! Shauna recently asked me how I was able to keep going with my dream, even when it seemed like an insurmountable task.

My answer is that I knew why I wanted to publish the book. The thing that kept me going was knowing that Radical Self Love has the ability to completely change women’s lives. This book lays the groundwork to show you what it means to love yourself, and gives you a step-by-step breakdown of how to get there. I knew that if this book got into the hands of a woman who really needed it, it could encourage her to get help with her eating disorder, it might inspire her to leave a bad relationship, it would remind her how beautiful she is and how much we need her.

This book is my love letter to you, written with a glowing neon heart.

Writing this book and releasing it has been such a massive project, and the thing I am most proud of is that I did it all myself. I didn’t sit around waiting to be “picked”: I wrote it, found an editor, hired a designer, and handled the entire project myself. That is one of the most compelling lessons I’ve learned over the last 8 years of being in business for myself: that true happiness comes from doing it yourself, and not waiting for anyone else to ride on in and save you.

You have to be willing to back yourself, and when you do, incredible things happen. My book hit #1 on Amazon Movers and Shakers. Copies of it just keep selling. And that’s not all! Some extremely exciting things have happened around this book, and that’s why it is only available for a month!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaasssssss babe. If you want it, snap it up because it won’t be around forever!

I have so much more to tell you… But for now, just know that I love you. I can’t wait for you to have this book in your hot little hands, for you to complete the homework assignments, and share your discoveries with me on the #rslbook hashtag!

You’re my favourite,
