You're Already Awesome: How to Silence Your Inner Critic and Step into Greatness

by Alison Faulkner

Overview

“This is the book that will help you finally put your self-doubt to rest and awaken you to your brilliance.” — Nakeia Homer, author of I Hope This Helps

Everywhere we look, we’re bombarded with millions of ways we can transform ourselves. But while often a worthwhile goal, this drive to be our best selves can also be overwhelming and stressful. Alison Faulkner has been there, and is here to remind us that nothing external can give us worth or value— we’re already awesome, what we need to do is learn how to recognize our inherent awesomeness and then step into our true power.

In You’re Already Awesome, Alison shares with honesty, vulnerability, and a whole lot of humor, personal stories and twelve powerful shifts that help us shift back into an awareness of our awesomeness. The tools in each chapter are tried and true methods that she has used herself and with countless clients to build successful businesses and step into the life of their dreams.
