“Embrace Your Greatness has actionable tips presented in fifty straightforward, non-intimidating exercises to improve self-esteem. Judith’s approachable tone engages readers in a way that encourages them to complete the exercises. The questions at the end of each section provide takeaways and additional reinforcement. We especially love number twelve: using a drop of food coloring in a glass of water to see how one negative thought can influence our perspective. This is a great resource for a quick pick-me-up, as well as long-term change.”
