Many of us have an inner critic, a voice that tells us we’re not good enough—as a friend, a child, a parent—and it can be a battle of wills and perseverance to tame that internal chatter. NY Times bestselling author and mindfulness expert, Susan Verde, has wrestled with this struggle for decades. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices became her way of challenging and quieting her internal faultfinder as she experienced loss, divorce, and parenthood. Now she shares a collection of original essays that emphasize the power of positive self-talk. With humor, heart, and disarming vulnerability, she reveals her missteps and her greatest moments of joy. She writes books for readers of all ages, including the #1 NY Times bestselling I AM series, and teaches kids yoga and social-emotional awareness.
