If you’re looking to start reading some books outside of the category of entertainment and into the category of catastrophic mind blowing life-altering philosophical break throughs – look no further.
As a mere 21 year old college student, it is quite interesting to reflect back at my mindset just a few years ago and see the difference these books have genuinely made on not only my beliefs but on my life. I highly recommend these books to any and all people, but most of all to girls interested in spirituality and empowerment!
- Untamed by glennon doyle

This colorful covered memoir is awe-inspiring, hopeful, and extremely empowering. This book is a tremendous help at undoing the societal programming women receive from a young age regarding how to act, look, and express ourselves. This book is a catalyst for courage and will make any obstacle seem faceable. Glennon Doyle does an amazing job at turning what could have been another cut and dry self-help book into something interesting, emotional, and deeply personal. You will be hooked from the start!
