Endorsements for It’s OK to Start with You

“Take a deep breath, relax, and dive into a book that will bring you perspective and peace! Julia Hogan offers a meaningful, faithful, and well-balanced approach to self-care that we all need as beloved children of God. For years, I’ve longed for a book to recommend to women that discusses self-care within the Catholic worldview. This is that book.” — Leah Darrow, author of The Other Side of Beauty

“In an age that often considers self-care to be an extended form of selfishness, Julia Hogan does a great service to her profession, her clients, and her readers by articulating the keys to achieving a balanced and flourishing lifestyle. She approaches her subject in a way that integrates the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical components of human life. Based in large part on St. John Paul II’s understanding of the human person, she provides a practical guide to self-care anchored in timeless insights that lead to true happiness.” — Fr. Charles Sikorsky, J.D., J.C.L., L.C., president, Divine Mercy University

“Most people cannot understand the difference between self-centeredness and self-care. In a world overrun and confused by narcissism, Julia Hogan has woven together a poignant exposition of the dignity with which we are created in the image of God and the goodness and responsibility we have to show ourselves due reverence in caring for ourselves. We can’t give what we don’t have, and everyone from healing professionals to ministry leaders to the average man or woman can benefit from her words.” — Dr. Greg Bottaro, author of The Mindful Catholic and director of the CatholicPsych Institute

“Part fairy-godmother, part psychologist, Julia Hogan reminds us what self-care actually looks like (hint: it doesn’t translate to an indulgent trip to the spa). This is more than just a book: it’s a guide that will help you uncover what real balance means, helping you tap into your own transformative powers.” — Maria Walley, relationships editor at Verily magazine
