Review for You Are the Boss of You

I’ll admit it, I judge a book by its cover and title. This title cracked me up.

Our four-year-old twin neighbors would knock on our door, and my husband answered.

One of the girls asked, “Can Kim come out and play?”

My husband said, “No, she’s busy doing her chores.”

“You’re not the boss of her!”

And just like that, love blossomed in my heart.

If you’re usually allergic to self-help books, don’t run just yet—this one is different. It’s like a heart-to-heart with a wise, kind friend who’s been through some stuff and isn’t afraid to talk about it. The author keeps it real, sharing her ups and downs with warmth, honesty, and just enough vulnerability to make you feel seen.

She tackles ten core themes—think boundaries (especially tricky for empaths), self-soothing, and the radical idea that we’re allowed to feel everything. Yes, even the so-called “bad” emotions. Her bedtime rituals? Serious gems.

About The Author

Shauna Brittenham Reiter graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Furman University with a BA in political science. In 2018, she founded the wellness company Alaya Naturals based on the principles of holistic health that led her from a psychiatric hospital at the age of nineteen to founding a multimillion-dollar wellness company before the age of forty.

Diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in her teens, congenital neutropenia in her twenties, and a heart condition in her thirties, Shauna was led to cultivate a wealth of knowledge simply to survive. And while her focus on natural medicine has made radical healing possible for herself and hundreds of thousands of others, it is Shauna’s exploration of the world within that has resulted in true miracles. Before founding Alaya Naturals, Shauna shared her voice as a singer and songwriter; her album Dreamer’s Dream was released in 2017. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.
