Book excerpt: WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE TRULY self-ISH? We know you’re wondering, and it’s a good thing to wonder. Because in this day and age, the entire world is talking about helping others. • Have you noticed that most people are helping others at the expense of themselves? • How long can you sustain a life built on a hollow foundation? • Have you ever experienced trying to keep your family together, your workplace sorted and end up putting all of your relationships first - even before the one you have with yourself? • Perfectionism, self-sabotage, people-pleasing, self-sacrifice... Identify with these? Then it’s time for you to “Be Your Own Best Friend” and nourish yourself first. Because when you can love yourself unconditionally, it is then that you can nurture those in need, without feeling depleted yourself. And you want that for the long haul, don’t you? In this book, Fiona Jeanne dives deep to show you how to balance the most important relationships YOU have with 1. Yourself - Build your inner strength so your inner critic becomes your inner guide 2. Your intimate partner - Deepen your connections and learn the real meaning of intimacy. It’s not just ’SEX'! 3. Your home-front - Build a harmonious yet playful environment, to nurture the people (little and big), the things and the ideas that make your house YOUR HOME! 4. Your career / business - Enhance your self-worth to increase your net worth; because you are the mumpreneur of your home, aren’t YOU? 5. Your spirituality - Align your passion with your soul’s purpose. How’s your human experience today? ‘Journey to ME - Becoming Functionally self-ISH’ shares vulnerable insights to the depths of her life; the lessons she has learned and provides you with the tools and techniques that have helped millions of people globally to become their own best friend and to do whatever it takes to maintain this friendship for life. “It has been said by many that for us to truly connect with the magnificence that is inside us, we need to choose to see it. How on earth do we do that? By noticing this in people like Fiona Jeanne. When you allow yourself to be inspired by Fiona Jeanne’s courage, vulnerability, and strength. We get to see it within ourselves as well. For we can only see in others what is first contained within us. Once we acknowledge what Fiona Jeanne shows us in this fabulous book, we can’t help but choose to acknowledge and notice the same within us.” Joe Pane, Coach’s Coach, Senior Trainer at The Coaching Institute, Master Trainer in extended DISC an internationally accredited behavioural profiling tool.
