Q1. Sarah said, “You would never speak to someone else the way you speak to yourself.” Did listening to the Bloom girls’ conversation make you aware of your own negative self-talk? What are some practical ways to combat this kind of negative thinking?

Q2. What is a bigger battle for you: comparisons with other women online or in real life? Leigh discussed practical steps she’s taken to minimize comparing herself to others; what suggestions can you add to help end this destructive habit?

Q3. In Chapter 3, Jessica asks you to describe how you “grapple with guilt.” Steps to overcoming that false guilt we so often assume include giving yourself permission to pursue your passions and extending grace to yourself. Tell us what this looks like for you.

Q4. Time to tell us your one favorite quote or takeaway from this section. Have three favorite? Close your eyes and pick one to share!
