So, naturally, it wasn’t following any universally acknowledged truths or conventions. I started this book during the long years of successive COVID confinements, and I was planning to self-publish it because I wanted the freedom to make decisions about the book-how to write, what to write, what stories to include, what kind of experience to offer to my reader. You see-the original manuscript started with a story of me pondering my future book while standing in the shower, warm water running down my back, and my finger absentmindedly drawing random patterns on the fogged-up glass. Therefore, I was not surprised when on the first meeting with my publisher I was asked if I would consider writing a proper introduction to my book. After all, we are about to spend some time together on this journey. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a good book has to start with a proper introduction.Īnd by “proper” I mean that it has to prime the reader for the journey, raise excitement and set expectations, explain the process, and make reading the book an experience both profitable and smooth.

In Kristina’s upcoming book Becoming Flawesome #BecomingFlawesome, she reflects on her own story, her battle against perfectionism, and what it took for her to return to what she now deems to be her most authentic self. We live in a society that subliminally encourages us to wear metaphorical masks, slay our inner sadness, and ignore our imperfections, or as Kristina refers to them, her ‘dragons.’ Even within the world of personal development and spirituality, toxic perfectionism lurks in the shadows. We all dream of living by it, feeling it, being it…Īnd it is in the name of perfection that we demonise our flaws, make ourselves ‘less-than,’ and render ourselves vulnerable to the shame of not being good enough.
