I have seen author Bethany Howard learn to take advantage of her own permission, and then lead others by the hand to find the permission they so desperately want and need. Let Bethany show you how to show up for your own life through her book Permission Granted. Don’t live one more day with you being the main nay-sayer in your own life.

Permission Granted takes you on a journey of intentional self-reflection that is refreshing and empowering. Bethany Howard’s vulnerability is her strength as she invites us to confront the lies, pressures, and expectations that hold us back from embracing the fullness of life. Armed with honesty and authenticity, the path Bethany takes us on is one that leads to hope in the possibilities for a present and future where we have been freed from the confines of our personal fears and limitations. Permission Granted will help free you of burdens while also taking you deeper into the potential for life at the same time.

Cozy up in your comfiest chair. Sip some coffee from your favorite mug. And indulge in this exquisite work of art to celebrate the gift of you.
