Somehow, we’ve convinced ourselves that the only way to reach our higher self is by meditating every day, curating the perfect, kick-ass morning routine, and filling journal after journal with our manifestations. And while that works for some people, many are left feeling more broken. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWellness advocate and shame eradicator Michelle Garside has seen the often-toxic machinery of the wellness industry up close—she spent over a decade as a creative force behind some of the biggest names in personal development, and has been the customer, the retreat goer and the journal filler.  In (\u003ci\u003eNOT) Awakened\u003c\/i\u003e, Michelle offers a reckoning: rather than chasing a “higher self” we should be owning the parts of ourselves the industry keeps telling us to transcend. The mess. The rage. The appetites. The shame. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaved with Michelle’s laugh-out-loud, heartbreaking, and candid personal stories, \u003ci\u003e(NOT) Awakened\u003c\/i\u003e will show you that if you think you’ve experienced countless failures in attempt to reach a spiritual awakening, you’re not alone.  The path forward isn’t a better morning routine. It’s giving up on the fantasy that there’s a fixed version of you waiting somewhere and meeting the one you already are. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Balance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54480709845297,"sku":"9781538774731","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/2420\/2801\/files\/O_571e406b-0255-41bc-b629-f48e67ff2eb4.jpg?v=1787199128","url":"https:\/\/pageaday.com\/products\/not-awakened-9781538774731","provider":"Page-A-Day","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
