Be the One You Need: 21 Life Lessons I Learned While Taking Care of Everyone but Me

Often times we find ourselves taking care of everyone but ourselves. This book is a great reminder of the importance of taking the appropriate time to make sure you are okay. It really gets beyond the pampering and speaks to the soul of our very being, it challenges us through our choices and makes us recognize what is working and what is not in our lives. It is not just for women and it is a true blueprint for all man kind!

I did find myself applying some of the lessons and it worked out for the better it was well written not all of it original but that’s not a criticism as much as an observation

So there are books that are informative and are “feel good” books and then there are books that are transformative, confirm personal journeys, and are the catalyst to a paradigm shift that you knew you desperately needed. Sophia Nelson’s book is the latter. The content in this book can only be produced from a place of personal experience. When the world is going through its own transformation, this book provides actionable truths to allow us to thrive and arm ourselves with the unapologetic ability to take care of us first so that we can effectively take care of others. Flip the script, read the book.

Sophia Nelson's book "Be the One You Need: 21 Life Lessons I Learned While Taking Care of Everyone butMe", provides practical life recommendations to assist with making self-care a priority. Her down-to-earth delivery allows readers to better understand the self-perceived as well as structural barriers we face on a daily basis. The book emphasizes the importance of guarding our mental health and having a consistent support group (our "front row") that allows us to flourish. I highly recommend this book for promoting self-care during these uncertain post-pandemic times.

I better understand some of the cause of my pain and insecurities . When you know the cause, you understand the pain.

This book is life changing. I encourage everyone to purchase. It’s worth it!!!!
