As a woman, you've been programmed to act, think, and behave in certain ways-and not always to your benefit. Lore-as in "folklore"-challenges women to closely examine the stories that have shaped their lives. Jeanette Schneider, a single mother and the founder of Lore Advocacy, a network of professional women whose goal is to inspire women to change the world, shares love letters women wrote to their younger selves. The lessons in the letters along with the author's own insights will help you: ¿ change the trajectory of your storyline; ¿ challenge what you've been led to believe about yourself; ¿ monitor your thoughts and understand where they come from; and ¿ enjoy the benefits that accompany forgiveness. The book includes exercises to assist you through free-writing, visualizations, and reflection points, and as you complete the activities, you may get stuck on specific memories or events. Allow for that, but keep working to find your truth with this guide to smashing self-imposed limitations.
