Ladies, 4 Beautiful Books to Help You Flourish in 2025

I have to admit I am an avid reader of self improvement books. It’s a habit I started around 20 years ago but before that I’d never been in the ‘self improvement’ aisle of the bookstore!

Within books lies so much knowledge, learnings, inspiration, motivation, and the keys to help us find our own paths to growth, joy, creativity, freedom, and financial freedom. 

I wanted to share with you 4 books that are a beautiful way to start 2025 and keep you motivated when you feel you stray off your path and ones that have left a mark on my life.

Intention by Andrew Wallas 

I love this book, in fact, I gifted this to every person who joined one of my courses a couple of years back as it is a beautiful and gentle way of seeing the power of our intention and how it can transform our lives. In Andrew Wallas’s words, “An intention is the energetic starting point of any goal in its purest form. It is the seed that creates the magnificent flower. It is a powerful authentic vow you make with yourself, which comes from the core."

A Woman’s Worth by Marianne Williamson

This book should be gifted to every girl at birth. It is a beautiful prose reconnecting women back to their intrinsic value and worth and I believe that a great year starts with understanding and connecting to your confidence. When you know that, you are unstoppable. In Marianne Williamson’s words, “When a woman has owned her passionate nature, allowing love to flood her heart, her thoughts grow wild and fierce and beautiful. Her juices flow. Her heart expands. She has glimpsed the enchanted kingdom, the vast and magical realms of the Goddess within. Here, all things are transformed."

Atomic Habits by James Clear

I love this book and so do over 20 million people. Wow, that is an achievement. I love it primarily because it embraces gentle, small habits that make a difference. I can honestly thank this book for transforming one of my long-standing and annoying habits (to myself and my husband) and that was/is (sometimes) my messiness. I used one of his very simple techniques to ‘room reset’ and after almost 4 years, I am still able to maintain order which has created a huge internal shift for me in my business, life, and relationships.

The Rules of Wealth by Richard Templar

Like many books I read about financial freedom, I always gain one or two great insights into my behaviour that I could transform or ideas, inspirations, or motivations that I am able to implement in my life to make a difference. This book has 100 concepts around money and he cleverly tells you to pick only three or four and implement them. Thanks to this book, I started to create new weekly investments that have made a positive impact on my life and reminded me that I have potentially another twenty or more years of my life to live which is still a long time to make any difference I want. A new year is a great time to reconnect to all your potential and create financial freedom and this book is full of simple ideas.

I hope you enjoy these reads and they inspire you to go after your dreams in 2025 and you continue your path of growth to your most authentic self.

Love and light,
