Thanks for a thoughtful perspective! You make some great points and they are why I truly hesitate before sharing my gut feeling about her. A lot of what she says I agree with, there is just an ick feeling about who is saying it. I tried to articulate why, in case other women felt the same "unbelonging" I felt while reading it (especially since I heard so many times it's a book that's supposed to make me feel seen - I wish I had felt what you did!). Listening to your body is absolutely essential for all women. I'm just not sure the author is as far along in their healing journey as they claim to be and that can be misleading for many readers.
