“A motivational and engaging book full of personal insights and honesty to help you on your journey to feel good about yourself, to realise that no-one is perfect and, more importantly, that no-one has to be. Everyone has at some point needed to overcome self-doubt and self-sabotaging behaviours. Sunni Dawson’s eloquent and instructive new book will help you do just that.
Clearly laid out and full of fantastic guided steps to allow you to examine your own self-esteem, jettison unnecessary stresses and build emotional strength through practical easy to follow techniques. Use these well thought out techniques to gain the confidence to overcome future challenges and build a braver long term future. Highly recommended”

The world needs, now more than ever, brave people. People who are willing to look at themselves and their lives just a little bit differently.’ (Sunni Dawson says this in her book and how true is this in these chaotic times?! )
This book is an extremely clear and logical way of asking the right questions for developing a deeper self awareness, and a better you. I love the examples used from her personal life (and others), making it very relatable to the average person. Sunni shows that doing the self work is courageous and how doing little acts of ‘bravery’ can slowly change your world (and others).
What I love most about this book is the crystal clear explanation of how to work through chaotic emotional trauma. It gives you the tools to get you from one phase of the healing process to the next. She also highlights how our unconscious behaviors are the root to our problems and how working through our hurt emotional traumas can not only change our lives for the better but help others as well. She expresses deeply how/why people should sit down with their emotions, and, treat them gently.
My favorite part of the book was the ‘feeling experiment’. It was so difficult (at first), but it taught me to be more centered and really connect to my inner child. If I don’t value and hear these hurt parts of me, I mean, who will? I’ve noticed the long term effects has been self respect and self value, not just for myself but by those around me.
I love the book and it’s definitely helped me on my healing journey. Thanks, Sunni!

“This is the book I needed right now! There is a big change in my life happening right now and realising what I am really afraid of helped me a lot to take the steps I knew I needed to do. How Sunni is discribing the path made me really feel her and that she walked to way. I see myself in many situations, may it past pain and worries or present situations I am facing. The questions to reflect on and techniques helped me to connect a lot of dots of my life and gave me more faith to take action and to go for what I want. Thank you!”

“Breathing out Brave is essentially a guide on how to be brave in a world that can be incredibly perplexing and intimidating. Dawson takes the reader on her own journey towards Brave and disseminates the nuggets of wisdom that she has discerned from her experiences. You can trust that the author knows the terrain of ‘brave’ well, having travelled solo around the world for the past several years with no home base or solid income.
Breathing out Brave is full of compelling stories(many biographical), and relatable scenarios that illustrate the various circumstances in which bravery may be called upon over the course of a day, a week, or a lifetime. This book is full of practical advice and lists simple step-by-step actions to propel the individual in the direction of their dreams.
Written in a way that is both easily digestible and engaging I recommend Breathing out Brave to anyone seeking to take more control of their lives.”

‘Breathing Out Brave’ is a super inspiring book. It’s not a quick read (especially if you work through all the exercises in each chapter which are really insightful) but it’s a transformative one. I related a lot to Sunni’s stories, even though we have very different lives, a lot can be learnt from her stories and processes. I feel like I will pick up this book again and again when I need to work through issues that come up for me in the future. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to change or transform any part of their lives.
