BECOMING THE ONE Paperback – June 16, 2022

I got this book a few days ago and I haven't been able to put it down. It couldn't have come at a better time. My soul has been yearning for this book.For years I have been stuck in patterns of unhealthy relationships with heartbreaking outcomes. As I've been reading this book, I am discovering ways to nurture my inner being and heal my relationship with myself. I feel so grounded, at peace and hopeful. I have confidence that as I "find my way home to myself" as Sheleana says, it will transform my inner and outer world. I love the guidance and exercises in this book. They make my heart happy.Sheleana is so vulnerable and open about her journey. Very relatable to many who have gone through childhood trauma and turmoil. Sometimes you get the feeling that she's putting her arm around you and guiding you to peace as you're reading the book. Can't wait to finish it. I highly recommend it. I also recommend following her on instagram and signing up to receive her emails. There have been many times where her posts were exactly what I needed to hear that day! I feel that Sheleana is very intuitive and inspired.

This book changed my life. Before getting married, I asked my then-boyfriend to read it, and he loved it so much that he recommended it to two other people, who are now reading it as well. I also encouraged my best friend to read it. Please note that this book can evoke strong emotions, so it’s best to read just two to three chapters at a time. I owe a great deal of my personal growth, self-discovery, and newfound confidence to this book.

This book speaks to my soul. I have been on my journey of self discovery for many years now, so I am very familiar with the contents of this book. Given that I have already done a lot of inner work, this book was very easy to read and understand for me. However, I learned SOOOOO much! And I expected nothing less :). I bought this book so that I could learn even more from one divine woman to another. It is an absolutely beautiful read. I plan to read the book again just to learn even more! The book is raw, the book is real, the book is extraordinary. I encourage everyone to read this book. All genders. You will NOT be disappointed at all. It flows beautifully, it makes you develop more self worth, more self awareness, more love & compassion, and last but certainly not least: it allows you to come home to yourself. For all of you people who need a wake up call to come back home to yourself, this is it. Buy this book you will not be disappointed.

I finished Shay’s book in a week, which is a page-turner for me, and I’ll return to this gem for relational reminders and practices! I found Rising Woman in late 2019 when I was fed up with failed relationships, and learning how to soothe my inner child and take loving responsibility for my emotions have transformed my life. Identifying and practicing my relational core values through Shay’s Becoming The One course have brought me to my current conscious relationship, and gave me the words to stand in my truth with people who weren’t aligned with me while learning from them. Reading her titular book gave me deeper insights into my recent behavior of “testing” my relationship; I also love her “Four Elements of Emotional Integration”, her prompts to get curious about our anger and sadness, “Five Types of Boundaries” (such a refreshing categorization!) and “Compassionate Self-Awareness”. The latter chapter was particularly pertinent for me as I have perfectionistic tendencies, so the journaling prompts for “doing the accountability work” were poignant. “Divine Mother and Father Energy” was likewise liberating and filled with love. Thank you, Shay, for sharing so much of yourself, and of your community and influences, in your soulful debut. 💛

My first time through reading this book was all about highlighting and putting tabs on all the areas I wanted to revisit. In the end, my book is a rainbow of colored pencil highlights and a gazillion tabs. I am on my second reading now and am going through it with the intention of journaling my thoughts and emotions as I answer the questions/suggestions in each chapter. To say this book speaks to me is an understatement. I have now gifted a new book to a friend and have suggested it for numerous other people.The book was sold as a relationship book in my local bookstore ....and, I am not in a romantic relationship ...so, I am applying it to my relationships to friends and family. But, ultimately it has become about the relationship I have with myself. I am finding so much that has helped me to dig deeper and thoughtfully ask myself the questions about what needs healing and then loving myself gently through the processes given.Wonderful and deep. Insightful and filled with encouragement and hope. Love it!

Interesting read. I enjoy the different perspectives this book has given me

I was recommended this book by a friend and I’m happy to have purchased it. I learned so much about my coping patterns but also how to make healthier decisions for my mental health.It goes deep on certain chapters, so could be emotional but in a good way! I would recommend this to everyone

I haven't finished the book yet as I am a bit of a slow reader.I purchased this after being exposed to the author's work on Instagram.I love the gentle language the author uses. There are a lot of lists in this book that can help readers more easily apply the concepts toward self-improvement.This book is a spiritual journey without being tied to any religion, which I very much appreciate as someone who does not like religious undertones in self-healing books. It's a great book for those looking to improve their self-compassion, learn about your inner child, practice self-soothing, and learning how to show up for yourself first to transform the way you show up in your relationships. Good for anyone whether you are in a relationship or not.My only critique would be that this book seems mostly geared towards women; however, it has a lot of great content that anyone can use.
