If you are at all interested in the topic of transformation, then you need to read:

Work. Body. Mother. Self by @EricaSosna

Here's why:

• Erica doesn't shy away from the difficult or the taboo. She writes from the heart and goes deep. Her openness and real vulnerability on the page are palpable.

• The challenges Erica has faced in recent years are beyond the average. Watching her overcome these, literally step-by-step, through her writing has been humbling and has taught me about the power of long-term determination and short-term effort in reaching goals.

• Erica recognises that we're each a self made up of different parts and that each part of self intertwines with and influences the whole.

• She writes compassionately but also provides practical suggestions for how to begin the work of recovery and reinvention for yourself.

This blog post made me really step back and think again about the beauty and the terror of transformation. About control and surrender. About unravellings and beginnings.

Take a look for yourself.
