Grace Yourself by Chris Janssen is a deeply personal yet universally resonant journey from addiction to freedom, offering readers a compassionate and empowering roadmap to sobriety. It’s told through raw storytelling and gentle coaching wisdom. Janssen chronicles her breakthrough into recovery, not by chasing perfection, but by embracing grace. The book provides practical tools for identifying limiting beliefs, cultivating curiosity, and reshaping inner narratives without shame or blame. A guiding light for anyone seeking to recover from addiction, manage relapse, or shed harmful self-talk, Grace Yourself affirms that healing begins with self-acceptance and the courage to show up for the life you truly want: one choice, one moment, one breath at a time.

Author Chris Janssen has a way of speaking directly to her reading audience that feels like a trusted friend is letting you in on their achieved wisdom, offering an honest, heartfelt, and healing tale that will certainly be a must-read for anyone facing addiction or self-doubt. The key feelings you take from Janssen’s text are always vulnerability and insight, as she lets you peek behind the curtain on some dark moments indeed, but these are so relatable to anyone who has struggled with substances. And although the work is rooted deeply in faith, you don’t have to be as spiritual as the author is to access the harmony and wisdom she teaches here. What results is a rare blend of inspiration and actionable guidance grounded in true compassion and real-life experience, and it’s a work that I’m sure will empower its readers to break free from perfectionism and shame with a radical kind of grace. Overall, I would certainly recommend Grace Yourself as a powerful companion on the journey to sobriety and self-worth that deserves a place in the home of anyone making this change.
