Shay & Marie’s Recommend

These are the things we’re reading, using, loving, and recommending along the way. From books that make us think to everyday finds that make life a little better, everything here is something Shay or Marie genuinely believes is worth sharing.

What We’re Reading

Let Them Let Me

I recommend Let Them, Let Me by Aria Coren for anyone learning that protecting your peace isn’t about controlling what other people do—it’s about recognizing what you get to choose for yourself. The message is simple but powerful: let people be who they are, and give yourself permission to decide what that means for you.

I’ve had the opportunity to know Aria personally and work with her professionally, which gives me an added appreciation for the perspective behind her words. Her authenticity and insight come through on the page, and the message is one I believe is worth sharing.

Health Wanted: Inquire Within

A thoughtful read about burnout, self-reflection, and finding healthier ways to lead yourself and others. I picked this one up because I’m interested in the conversations that challenge us to look inward and rethink how we move through life and work.

I wholeheartedly recommend Health Wanted: Inquire Within. Cara Lenz offers a thoughtful and practical look at burnout, self-awareness, and what it means to lead yourself and others from a healthier place. I also had the opportunity to speak with Cara, and her warmth, passion, and genuine commitment to this work came through just as strongly in conversation as it does in the book. This is one I believe is worth the read.
