This book club is an invitation to slow down and invest in yourself — imperfectly and without guilt! Using
The Gifts of Imperfection as our guide, we’ll focus on reflection over completion, connection over performance, and self-compassion over self-criticism. You are welcome exactly as you are, whether life allows you time to read or simply to listen and reflect. There is no pressure to keep up, no expectation to share, and no “right” way to participate. Our shared intention is to build resilience, challenge imposter syndrome, and support one another in showing up more fully — at work and in life.
