It Starts With You

From RIISE

BUYER'S NOTES: This is a book about becoming the person you were born to be. It doesn’t matter what your starting point is, change is possible. In this deeply personal and practical guide, RIISE founder, Sara Bell, introduces a transformative approach to re-parenting yourself - by consciously creating an imaginary parent: a steady, compassionate inner voice who guides, reassures, and holds you accountable when it matters most. Through intimate memoirs and grounded methodology, this book shows you how to rewrite your internal dialogue and become the safe, supportive presence you have always longed for. If you’ve been searching for how to stop overthinking, you’ll learn how to interrupt spirals by shifting into the calm authority of this inner parent. If you want to know how to reduce anxiety, you’ll discover how to self-soothe in moments of stress, replacing panic with grounded reassurance. For those ready to break bad habits, this book reveals how consistent, compassionate self-guidance is far more powerful than criticism or willpower. You’ll also learn how to communicate better - starting with the way you speak to yourself - so that your external relationships become clearer, calmer, and more honest. Through this lens, you’ll understand how to deal with toxic relationships, set boundaries without guilt, and step out of patterns that no longer serve you. At its core, this is a guide to learning how to be happy by becoming your own source of stability, kindness, and truth. Not
