The perfect little book you never knew you needed!

Went into this thinking that I’d fly through it because it’s all of 121 pages total, I couldn’t be more wrong! I had to limit myself to a chapter a day because I didn’t want it to end!

Debbie has such an amazing way of speaking and in this she really puts herself out there! She opens up about her life experiences, there are many, good and bad. This book resonates with me on a personal level that I was not prepared for. CALM is like a little instruction manual and even if your experiences are not the same as hers, she gives you tools in this book to help you cope no matter where your journey has led you so far. She has written notes to her younger self at the end of each chapter and they are remarkable!

You’re doing a disservice to yourself if you don’t give this a read. I made notes in mine and plan on referring to it often.
Happy reading 🙂
