some chapters in books that helped me the most (if you were interested in the part where I spoke about how I read books for mental health and self-growth): “Boundaries: You and I Are One, but We Are Not the Same” and “Embracing the Divine Masculine and Feminine as Conscious Equal Partners” in The Evolutionary Empath by Rev. Stephanie Red Feather Ph.D.

thank you for listening and i hope you had some good takeaways :)
