Most convos around inner child/re-parenting work focus heavily on joy, spontaneity & play. Which is great. But: a common form of parental neglect is failing to provide children with adequate structure, discipline & protection. That's also a *crucial* part of re-parenting work.

Some of y’all bragging about not having CPs and Betas saying y’all only pay attention to reviews should maybe… not!

Hard truth: Most books need CPs, betas, editors AND reviewers because writing is hard and needs multiple forms of quality assurance just like any other job.

please remember that 2 things can be true at the same time:
1. Drake Bell is a victim of CSA, which is upsetting, vile, & should have never happened;
2. Drake Bell groomed & had sexual contact w/ a minor & WAS FOUND GUILTY.

I love this book so much. This is my reminder to do my yearly read of it.

I think every creative should read this at least once.
