sisterhood encouraging

loved it and the fact that I finished listening to it because I had to listen to what the next chapter had to offer.

beautifully inspiring

a special blend of inspiration for personal and professional growth with stories of real female humanity. I especially loved reflecting on the nature of our unknown or unrecognized impact that always happens when two or more humans connect and share. So much resonated and thank you for such dedicated work in the name of love

Even better than I imagined!

After reading and listening to so many self help/motivational books I was feeling a little uninspired and worried this book would be much of the same. I was wrong. This book moves you deeply, from the fascinating stories read by Brita to the way she gives step by step actions to complete. I feel like I know myself better after reading this book, have more profound insights into the kind of life I want to lead and a deeper understanding of what living a meaningful life entails. Highly recommend.

One of the best books I've ever experience!

It's really powerful experience to hear all of it.
Memorable, carefully considered words I needed to absorb.

I LOVE this book

Honestly, when my mentor recommended I read this book I didn't know what to expect but I was not left disappointed.

It really spoke to me and my fears... literally all the reasons why I don't do something were called out in Brita's book. I've even subsequently purchased the hard copy to start working through the exercises.

Fantastic learnings in here to help take the next step and turn your fears into fierce.

Would highly recommend! Thank you Brita!

Inspirational and beautifully written

Genuinely written and read with heartfelt love. Inspiring and motivating. I have emailed Women for Women International and made a donation as a result. The stories Brita tells are touching and certainly brought tears to my eyes. Highlights the importance of helping each other and of hope. I think the foreword should have been read by someone other than the author who is the narrator in this case as it was written by others about the author.

In-powering!

I 100% recommmend this book!
I've started a few months ago a process of care and love to myself. And I've also been learning to highlight all those things I do right, instead only focusing in those that don't go as expected.

'Fears to Fierce' was like the cherry on the cake for my process.

I'm still learning, evolving and defining my purpose.

I felt that through Brita's words and thoughts, I was also living myself those experiences she's been through.

Thank you very much Brita sharing your kindnes, gratitude and love with the World through your book.
