Book Report: Radical Acceptance
I chose Radical Acceptance because it speaks to the emotional terrain so many creatives quietly navigate: self-doubt, shame, perfectionism, and a longing to express something meaningful. These are often the very forces that block or silence the creative impulse. As I continue to develop as a coach, particularly with artists and would-be creatives, I’m drawn to Brach’s message that healing and wholeness begin not with effort, but with presence.
