Nicole LePera opens her heart to us right from page one, and she does it in the most refreshingly honest way. As the creator of the #selfhealers movement and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller "How to Do the Work," she brings her professional expertise as a clinical psychologist to the table.

Let's talk about why this book exists in the first place. LePera noticed something fascinating during her decade as a clinical psychologist - despite reading countless relationship books and trying every new strategy under the sun, her clients kept hitting the same wall. They'd learn about love languages, try to change their partners' behaviors, and still end up frustrated and resentful. She saw this pattern so often that it got her thinking - maybe we're all looking at relationships from the wrong angle.

We can't fix our relationships by trying to change others. In fact, most relationship advice gets this completely backward. We spend so much time trying to get others to meet our needs that we miss the most important piece of the puzzle - our relationship with ourselves.

That means, before we can feel safe with others, we need to feel safe in our own body. And thus, this book!

The beauty of this book lies in its promise - that love isn't about performing the right actions or saying the right things. Instead, it's about embodying love itself and creating space for others to be exactly who they are. LePera shows us that by healing our connection to our own hearts, we naturally become better at connecting with others.

And now that you're here, prepare for a journey that goes way beyond typical relationship advice! Let's begin.
