Being You

'There are plenty of books in the world that teach you how to be a better version of yourself. Finally, there's a book in the world guiding you to learn to celebrate the 'you' you already are. Own this book. Read it, regularly. Give it to the people you love. It's a roadmap to uncovering all the answers you already know and the truth you hold within.'

Jay Crisp Crow, writer, speaker, podcaster and award winning entrepreneur.

'Being You is a journey - part artwork, part poetry. It invites you, the reader, to ponder, to feel and to contemplate, with its exquisite drawings, words and thoughtful prompts. You don't read Being You as much as experience it. The words provide both a salve for the heart and a feast for the eyes. If you are lucky enough to receive a copy of this book, it's to be enjoyed over time, to luxuriate in, rather than to speed through. A book to return to over and over again.'

Tammy Tansley, author, media commentator, and executive coach.

'This book is a unicorn. Unique in its style and content, thought provoking, guiding and questioning. It's also an artwork full of drawings, sketches and small pieces of beauty. It's hard to place in any specific genre for it serves many purposes. It tells a story and challenges the reader to reflect, it's charming and yet pricks the conscience, it lets you escape from the moment and yet guides you to a place you may have forgotten. Read Being You from start to finish or dip into one section and ponder that questioning and reasoning. Or simply admire the detail and honesty of the artwork, from black and white sketches to intricate colourful portraits of humanity. Being You is a rare thing of charm and consciousness, indeed a unicorn.'

Nicola Jenkins, Diversity and Inclusion specialist, Talent Management professional.

'Building a business and being a mum of two means I've got lots happening. This book has reminded me that I need to shut out the noise around me, listen to my gut feelings and reconnect with my purpose. It's the type of book that I'll go back to again and again. Being You would resonate with any woman who needs to reconnect with herself, overcome self-doubt or regain her sense of self-worth.'

Megan Del Borrello, award winning entrepreneur.

'I absolutely loved every single page of Being You. The opening line really encapsulates it for me: 'This book is a love letter to your inner self' and that is exactly how I experienced it. The combination of Jacqui's wisdom, loving energy and the beautiful artwork make this book a truly precious find that I'll certainly be returning to again and again. It's like reaching out to a wise mentor in a time of need only to find out that the wise mentor is indeed my inner self, and the answers are already within.'
