👎 Skip It
Meyer's 'do it afraid' framework is practical and down-to-earth, working through named fears like inadequacy and judgment with her usual candor. It covers ground that overlaps a lot with her other books, though, so it may feel familiar if you've read her before — still, Jodi Carlisle's narration is warm and easy to sit with.
