ABOUT THE GUIDE

What’s Inside

This isn’t a surface-level reading list. It’s a resource built for founders who want to grow from a grounded place… not hustle.

  • You’ll find 15 titles across five themes: Mind + Body, Empowerment + Voice, Creative Courage, Business + Balance, and Inner Work. These aren’t just business books… they’re resources that expand your capacity as a whole human leading a brand.

  • Each book was handpicked for its ability to help you build a business that actually feels sustainable. You’ll learn to manage your energy, refine your systems, and reconnect to your creativity, all from a place of calm clarity.

  • Yes. This guide is completely free and designed to support your growth. Some links are Amazon affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you decide to purchase, but every book is one we personally own and recommend.
