Minisode 10.23.26: What are the most influential books you've read?

The books that rewired their faith, calmed their minds, and changed how they see life are finally out in the open. Jaisa and Rachael share the most influential reads in their libraries, from spiritual classics to astrology texts, and explain why these are the books they return to when they need clarity, comfort, or a completely new lens.

Together, they compare notes on the titles that shaped their thinking, including The Untethered Soul, A New Earth, The Power of Now, Jesus Calling, Richard Rohr's contemplative Christianity, and Stephen Forrest's astrology books Inner Sky and Yesterday's Sky. They also talk about why some books land only at the right time, why rereading matters, and how a great book can act like therapy for your heart and soul.

You’ll discover:

The book that helped separate soul from ego and quiet constant mental chatter
Why A New Earth and The Power of Now hit differently when you are ready for them
How Jesus Calling and Richard Rohr offer daily spiritual grounding without feeling heavy or preachy
Why Stephen Forrest's writing makes complex astrology feel poetic, precise, and personal
How to use books as a tool for self-reflection, healing, and practical guidance

It’s especially perfect if you’re craving spiritual growth, calmer thoughts, or a more expansive way to understand yourself and your path.
