An illuminating and life-affirming for all women who want to get to more love and acceptance.

This is a wonderfully honest, heart-warming and life-reaffirming book with countless ideas, experiences, and insights for women of any age. Elisa Pool’s story of self-exploration and discovery is the story of many of us-daughters, friends, sisters, and mothers. It’s written with great vulnerability, love, and, above all, the power of overcoming grief, discovering love, accepting kindness and love, and learning how to stick to oneself, with “more grace, and less criticism.” There are so many quotes that stick out for me….”For most of my life, I showed up wanting to be liked. There's a big difference between being yourself and wanting to be liked. I don't think I even realized this tendency of mine until after I had you.” As women, as people, we have a beautiful and sinuous journey of accepting ourselves and our bodies and learning that we have the power to be who we are and who we want to be. This is an inspiring and illuminating memoir. Athena, you are lucky to have your mom.

Reminder to choose self-love

I really enjoyed Letters to My Daughter. It felt so real and personal, like listening to a close friend share her honest thoughts and experiences. I appreciated how open and vulnerable the author was about the ups and downs of finding her way back to self-love. The messages were comforting and easy to connect with, and they left me feeling more hopeful and encouraged about my own path.

Touching

This audiobook was such a great listen. It’s a woman telling her daughter (and son) stories of her life. They are captivating stories and the author is a similar age to me so a lot of the stories really resonated with my growing up. Each of the chapter stories had a morale lesson to learn for her kids. But really they are valuable for anyone. Overall a feel good book that also gets you to look at yourself in the mirror and decide who we want to be moving forward and that we have the power and control to do anything we want and to not let society tell us what that is. Does a great job at breaking down societies body image issues, which we need more of these days. Very inspirational.

It’s a lovely listen that covers all topics from self love, valuing yourself and the love a mother has for their daughter.

Honest, heartfelt reflections on self-love

I wasn’t expecting the mix of raw emotion and thoughtful insights this book offered. The letters touched on body image, health, and self-worth in a way that felt deeply personal yet universally relevant. What really stuck with me was how it wove in reflections on brain science alongside personal stories—it added layers I didn’t anticipate. It felt like listening to someone lay bare their journey, inviting me to reflect on my own relationship with self-acceptance.

Connective and meaningful story telling

Elisa shared her story with great vulnerability and truth. What a healing journey. As a mom myself, I can relate to so much of her process and wanting to share the trials and lessons of life as encouragement for our next generation.
