A powerful guide to owning our emotions—even the difficult ones—in order to show up authentically in the world, from the popular therapist behind the Instagram account @sitwithwhit. Every day, we’re bombarded with pressure to be positive. From “good vibes only” and “life is good” memes, to endless reminders to “look on the bright side,” we’re constantly told that the key to happiness is silencing negativity wherever it crops up—in ourselves and in others. Even when faced with illness, loss, breakups, and other challenges, there’s little space for talking about our real feelings—and processing them so that we can feel better and move forward. But if non-stop positivity is the answer, why are so many of us anxious, depressed, and burned out? In this refreshingly honest guide, sought-after therapist Whitney Goodman shares the latest research along with everyday examples and client stories that reveal how damaging toxic positivity is to ourselves and our relationships, and presents simple ways to experience and work through difficult emotions. The result is more authenticity, connection, and growth—and ultimately, a path to showing up as you truly are.

“Guides readers toward the road less consumptive, offering practical advice and moral support while making a convincing case that individual actions . . . do matter.” —Elizabeth Royte, author, Garbage Land and Bottlemania Like many people, Beth Terry didn’t think an individual could have much impact on the environment. But while laid up after surgery, she read an article about the staggering amount of plastic polluting the oceans, and decided then and there to kick her plastic habit. In Plastic-Free, she shows you how you can too, providing personal anecdotes, stats about the environmental and health problems related to plastic, and individual solutions and tips on how to limit your plastic footprint. Presenting both beginner and advanced steps, Terry includes handy checklists and tables for easy reference, ways to get involved in larger community actions, and profiles of individuals—Plastic-Free Heroes—who have gone beyond personal solutions to create change on a larger scale. Fully updated for the paperback edition, Plastic-Free also includes sections on letting go of eco-guilt, strategies for coping with overwhelming problems, and ways to relate to other people who aren’t as far along on the plastic-free path. Both a practical guide and the story of a personal journey from helplessness to empowerment, Plastic-Free is a must-read for those concerned about the ongoing health and happiness of themselves, their children, and the planet.

Most people blame weight loss struggles on genetics, overeating, or something that happens to us as we age. Often, the real reason behind weight loss resistance is caused by toxic inflammatory stress, toxic chemicals and toxic food additives more so than genetics, overeating, or a sedentary lifestyle. In fact, according to recent research, weight loss failures today have more to do with our bodies being chronically stressed out more so than eating too much and a sedentary lifestyle. Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist, Lifestyle Coach, and Environmental Toxins Expert James Uberti exposes all the fat-fertilizing stressors that are sabotaging your lasting weight loss efforts, energy, and health. When a body is experiencing chronic low-grade inflammatory stress, weight-gaining hormones get elevated and favors fat storage despite your efforts to eat less and exercise more. However, when a body is balanced, nourished, and less stressed out, it favors fat burning, healing, and better health. Toxic-Free Diet isn't just another fad diet of counting calories, portion control, or exercising endlessly. But more about a work smarter, not harder anti-inflammatory lifestyle approach to lasting weight loss and better health.

We will take a walk in the shoes of Job, a man who suffered devastating losses simultaneously, but never once stopped giving God praise and glory. We will look at why sometimes we just don't understand God in the midst of our tribulations but how to trust Him anyway. We will explore what the Bible says about how to deal with emotions, recognizing the toxic people in our lives and how to show them the exit sign, finding freedom by letting go of past hurt and disappointment, and discovering how to grow through and from your pain.I have been through my share of disappointments and devastations, but I wouldn't have come out on the other side without a faithful Father to see me through. He has shown me His promises that continually prove His love and divine will, and He has shown me how to find my purpose in pain. He wants you to find His promises and His purpose for your life, too.When standing on the other end of the most difficult times in our lives, you can be sure that God will use those experiences as teachable moments somewhere down the road. The lessons that each of us learns might not be the same, but God will often give insight on how a particular circumstance in our past is helping to shape our future and how it might help shape someone else's as well. There is great power in testimony, so if we are able to share the testimony of how God transformed our lives despite walking through dark and challenging times, it could inspire or give hope to someone else who is still in the thick of their own hardship. Even though my own personal losses and tragedies were a time when my faith suffered the most, I can look back now to see that God's faithfulness never wavered. I'm sure my book will guide you through your spiritual life and your christian path.

Narcissistic abuse is a form of abuse that ensures victims are left emotionally drained, mentally exhausted, and devoid of any self-worth or self-esteem. I was a victim of a malignant narcissist for seven years of my life, and I know just how crushing it is to live such an abusive and suppressed life. The helplessness and detachment from reality that comes with narcissistic abuse are enough to keep you in the tight grip of the abuser for as long as they choose. However, I eventually found the courage to leave my abuser, but it didn't end there. As you may know, ending a relationship with a narcissist isn't that easy - even if it was the narc who did the breaking up.
