Good medicine for tending the heart and uplifting the spirit.

Like Brené Brown, Mare Chapman offers inspiring insights on freeing the real ‘you’ who lives deep inside. Her wise words and exercises will give you the strength and courage to become your authentic self, no matter what life has thrown at you. Brilliant!

— Patricia McConnell, author of the memoir, ‘The Education of Will’

Highly recommended for any woman who feels stuck with insecurity.

— Sharon Salzberg, author of ‘Lovingkindness’, and ‘Real Happiness’

Every so often a book comes along that has the potential to change your life…Unshakeable Confidence reflects the author’s profound understanding of the roots of women’s suffering and provides a wise and practical guide to rediscovering self-love. A pure gem of a book!

— Dale M. Kushner author of ‘The Conditions of Love’ and ’M’

Unshakeable Confidence illuminates the cultural conditioning that adversely affects nearly all women—in body, mind, and spirit. Its reframing of codependence, learned helplessness, and relationship addiction as “othering” is groundbreaking. And, most importantly, it gives all of us precise instructions for how to come back home to our essential, healthy, confident selves. Every woman needs to know and practice what’s in these pages.

— Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author of ‘Goddesses Never Age’, ‘Wisdom of Menopause’, and ‘Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom’
