Butterfly Goo - by Rachel Burr

Book Synopsis

You think transformation is pretty? Think again. Just like the messy goo a caterpillar goes through to become a butterfly, human transformation is equally "gooey." Rachel Burr's story is filled with mishaps, mistakes, misadventures, and... yes, mess. But it's not all slog. There are also triumphs and growth in Butterfly Goo as Burr takes you on a hilarious and poignant sightseeing tour of her own transformative journey.

With important lessons/chapter takeaways and experiential exercises for you to try, this book that's part memoir and part self-help will make you think about where your life is working and where it isn't. Maybe you're stuck in comfortable discomfort or searching for something, but you don't know what it is. Maybe you want to make a change, but you're afraid you'll fail. Worse, maybe you think you aren't good enough, smart enough, or just not enough, so you feel stuck.

As a successful executive coach and people expert, Burr has the experience you'd look for to lead you through change. But her most important credential is having confronted and survived her own fears, challenges, and reluctant decisions to emerge out the other side.

Don't get us wrong: Butterfly Goo won't create the change you're looking for. Only you can do that. But it just might inspire you to step into the mess of your own transformative journey. After all, as Burr found out, you have to go through the goo before you can spread your wings.
