Somehow, we've convinced ourselves that the only way to reach our higher self is by meditating every day, curating the perfect, kick-ass morning routine, and filling journal after journal with our manifestations. And while that works for some people, many are left feeling more broken. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWellness advocate and shame eradicator Michelle Garside has seen the often-toxic machinery of the wellness industry up close--she spent over a decade as a creative force behind some of the biggest names in personal development, and has been the customer, the retreat goes and the journal filler. In (\u003ci\u003eNOT) Awakened\u003c\/i\u003e, Michelle offers a reckoning: rather than chasing a \"higher self\" we should be owning the parts of ourselves the industry keeps telling us to transcend. The mess. The rage. The appetites. The shame. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaved with Michelle's laugh-out-loud, heartbreaking, and candid personal stories, \u003ci\u003e(NOT) Awakened\u003c\/i\u003e will show you that if you think you've experienced countless failures in attempt to reach a spiritual awakening, you're not alone. The path forward isn't a better morning routine. It's giving up on the fantasy that there's a fixed version of you waiting somewhere and meeting the one you already are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Garside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538774739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538774731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michelle Garside","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852957790463,"sku":"9781538774731","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-awakened-michelle-garside-9781538774731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
