Read it together.

Eleven questions for a table of friends, about story, healing, and what lies beneath.

You don’t have to answer every question. Follow the ones that spark a conversation. Or come up with your own altogether.

  1. 01What part of my story surprised you, and reminded you of your own?
  2. 02Was there a moment you caught yourself judging me? What did that bring up about your own story?
  3. 03If you stopped trying to fix yourself, what would you do instead?
  4. 04Which moment in the book did you want to look away from?
  5. 05What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever tried to feel better?
  6. 06Where are you still at war with yourself? What would a ceasefire look like?
  7. 07If your body could write one paragraph of your memoir, what would it say?
  8. 08What are you holding on to that no longer serves you?
  9. 09What truly helps you feel loved, especially the love you can give yourself?
  10. 10What’s one thing you understand differently about someone else after reading this book?
  11. 11What’s one kind thing you’ll do for yourself this week, because of something you heard here?

Hosting your book club

There is no wrong way to do this. A few friends, a pot of tea, and enough room for the truth. Meet once or over a few gatherings, in person or on Zoom. Listen more than you fix, and let silence sit. The printable guide has a simple shape for your time together.
