At Women’s Health Collaborative, we believe healing happens in community, and that includes sharing the stories, science, and wisdom that have supported us on our wellness journeys.
That’s why we’ve created a little borrowing library in our space. It’s filled with handpicked books chosen to help you feel more grounded, more informed, and more connected to your healing process.
Whether you’re navigating burnout, gut issues, anxiety, or just looking for a deeper sense of balance, there’s something here for you. Here are four titles we’re loving right now:
This book is for anyone who feels like they’re always running on empty. Tricia Hersey, founder of The Nap Ministry, invites us to rethink the grind culture that glorifies exhaustion. Her message is clear and powerful: rest is not a luxury—it’s a portal to healing, clarity, and liberation. If you’ve been longing for permission to slow down, this is the wake-up call disguised as a lullaby.
You’re chronically burned out or overwhelmed
You’re curious about how rest can be a form of resistance
You need a reminder that you are worthy of rest, now, not when your to-do list is done
If you’ve been struggling with bloating, fatigue, or sugar cravings, this book offers a science-backed, gut-first approach to transforming your health.
