COMING HOME: Finding Your Way Back to Yourself

There is a particular kind of tiredness that sleep does not fix.If you have spent years being the one who holds everything together, who anticipates what everyone needs and keeps the room steady while your own inner life goes quietly unattended, this book was written for you.Coming Home is not another plan for becoming a better, more disciplined version of yourself. It is a way back to the self you already are. Drawing on years of leading small retreats, and on the stories of the women who arrive at them, Anna Spencer traces the slow, unglamorous work of returning home to your own life, and the quiet questions that keep capable women stuck: - Why rest can feel like failure, and how to rest before the collapse rather than after it- Why good things are so hard to let land, and what it takes to stop bracing against them- Why ease can feel unsafe to someone who has only ever known survival- How the selves we built to stay safe as children still quietly run our adult lives- How to want what you want without apology, and to trust yourself again after years of waiting for permissionHonest, intimate, and deeply human, this is a book to underline, to return to, and to keep close for the seasons when you forget the way back. It includes 90 Days of Coming Home, a season of gentle daily reflections and practices for carrying the work into ordinary life.For anyone who is tired of performing wellness, and ready instead to simply feel at home within herself again.
