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.

Bethany’s writing is raw, emotional, powerful. Her delivery is direct, while still allowing me to apply it to my own life. Every piece in Permission Granted gives the reader permission to look into themselves and find the strength to feel all the feels, but also the encouragement and the power to move onward to something more.

After each message, Bethany provides writing exercises which provoked deep, internal reflection for me that will assist me as I pursue my personal growth journey with “Permission Granted”.

In a world full of admonitions to “do more” and “go faster,” Bethany offers a deep breath of release. A permission slip, if you will, to stay present while embracing your future and healing your past. To accept who you are deep down, past your fears or failures, beyond your to-do list, or more sincere than the sum of your success. “Permission Granted: Embrace who You Are, Cultivate Courage, Impact Your World” is a book you’ll savor bite by bite, word for word. 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.
