Filmmaker Roxo empowers readers to confront and heal emotional wounds in her sharp, forceful debut. She draws from her life experiences and spiritual awakenings, particularly a call to “stop caring about being famous, about being ambitious, about how I looked” during an ayahuasca ceremony, to show how one can ignite “divine creation energy” that can “radiate through... actions, words, and vibes.” Formerly hindered by her traumas (the insults of her father and a messy divorce) and cultural expectations (the pressure to live up to beauty standards), Roxo asserts that “the most glorious moments of love and bliss I have experienced in this life happened when I let go.” She includes tools for establishing healthy mental practices, such as journaling, forming communities, and communing with nature, and for creating “a safe and intentional space for healing, crafting, becoming, and transforming,” as well as ways to “reclaim sexual power” and appreciate one’s body. Roxo also dissects how oppression, religion, and sexual trauma can block a person from finding their voice. While Roxo’s shrewd strategies are tailored for women, anyone eager for more intrepidness in their self-improvement will find dynamic strategies here. (July)
