Stop Being Good and Start Getting Real

Rediscover your true self with Letting Go of Good, an empowering guide to dismantling the false connection between being good and being worthy.

With illuminating composite examples from Andrea's clinical experience and a powerful exploration of the pathway to healing, Letting Go of Good presents a breakthrough approach to creating genuine relationships and awakening your true self to find peace.
