Loving: Examining love and sexuality in its many facets, this chapter touches on ideas from longing and friendship to first loves and marriage. The exercises in this section will help you define what love means to you.

Breaking: Heartbreak can occur in every aspect of life. Whether it's a falling out with a friend, a romantic relationship ending, or a dream that doesn't work out—grief and heartache follow. This section's exercises help you move through these experiences and reclaim your story.

Healing: This final chapter is about recognizing the value in yourself. Exercises in this section will ask you to reflect on ideas like why you're worthy of joy and how you are brave. Healing is a lifelong process and these exercises can be revisited over and over again.
