OR Nurse here. This is kind of a long one…

I was taking call one night, and woke up at two in the morning for a “general surgery” call. Pretty vague, but at the time, I lived in a town that had large populations of young military guys and avid meth users, so late-night emergencies were common.

This book is about self-sabotage and how to stop doing it—for good.

Brianna Wiest’s new book, The Mountain Is You, offers a life-changing strategy for transforming self-sabotage into self-mastery. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

“Brianna’s book is a beautiful expression of healing. Her insights on self-sabotage, emotional intelligence, and deep transformation are invaluable. She understands that change begins with self, and her book is a gift to the collective.”
— DR. NICOLE LEPERA, “The Holistic Psychologist”
