About the Book
Have you ever been told you are too much?
Too emotional, too sensitive, too loud?
The truth is, you are not too much. You have never been too much. You will never be too much. The very idea is preposterous. You were born to be you. All of you. Not a tiny acceptable sliver. Not a watered-down version with colors dulled and edges softened. You were meant to be every last pulsing-bleeding-loving-crying-feeling bit.
You are the sun, and the moon, and the stars.
You are the force that pulls the tides.
You are the unrestrained howl under a wide-open moon.
You are the essence of what it is to dance into ecstasy.
You are the heat and the sex and the sweat and the burn
and the soft and the grace and the grit and the ocean of tears.
You make the gods tremble.
And that, my dear, is bound to make some people crazy uncomfortable.
You Are Not Too Much is a love letter to the wild one within you. When you find yourself in the middle of a breakdown, reckoning, grief, or transformation, let this book be your lighthouse: a guiding light through the storm, leading you back home to yourself.
Within these pages is the permission you've been waiting for. Permission to grow into your wholeness. Permission to take up as much space as you need. Permission to ground down into the deep wisdom of your own knowing: You are exactly as you should be. You are not too much.

About the Author :
Raised by the ocean and forged under the relentless desert sun, Jeanette spent most of her life working very hard to be a good girl. One day, she woke up and decided to write her way out of her own life - things haven't been the same since. Single mama to two ridiculously unruly grown daughters, Jeanette believes in the necessity of periodic Pacific ocean baptism, the singular power of pencil skirts, vintage band tees and badass boots and dark red lipstick, the kinship of the wild wolf, the mediation of walking for miles in unfamiliar cities, and the necessity of putting out for the muse on the regular. Oh yes - and that sometimes our stories are the only things that can save us. Jeanette is an author, teacher, and motivational speaker. She's also been called a word witch and sovereignty catalyst by those who know her best. A weaver of words that inspire, provoke, and move her readers and followers toward action, compassion, healing and growth, Jeanette is the author of You Are Not Too Much Love Notes On Heartache, Redemption and Reclamation - available at all major online retailers.
Review :
"Jeanette has one of the most compassionate voices I've heard, so fully tender, and lit with gratitude."
Andrea Gibson
"Jeanette's writing is deep, true, passionate. Beautiful. With a fierceness and cracked openness...."
Brian Andreas
"Jeanette has written a self-love bible in the form of this book. It's not all sunshine and rainbows; it's real and raw. It's all the words in the most beautiful of voices I've ever needed to hear/read."
Lisa Tric
"LeBlanc has a way of weaving her way into the DNA of feelings. Writing about things we all experience: heartbreak, forgiveness (or the struggle of forgiveness), love, grief, all of it. She pours her heart out onto the page so we can see parts of ourselves we didn't know existed, didn't know they hurt, didn't know they needed love.
You can pick this book up for yourself and turn to any page to find what you need. It would also make a great gift for anyone."
Andrea Owen
"I only received this a week ago and already it's my go-to. I use it as my guide for the day, for whatever is troubling me, or to inspire myself. I hold this treasure in my hand, close my eyes, let my heart reveal what it's curious about, and open the book. So far, each time, it has brought me to tears. The kind of tears that flow from being known, being seen, being understood, and yes. Being loved purely for being myself. Yes, yes, I think to myself, I had forgotten this truth about myself, which is often what is immediately thought and felt deep in my soul."
Grace Moore
"I read Jeanette's book on the heels of a horrendous breakup that rocked my world. I was in a very dark place and Jeanette's words leapt off the page and instantly resonated with me. She has a deep and smokey wisdom that is equal parts soothing as it is sage and insightful. Everyone who has ever faced heartache or despair NEEDS this book in their life. Read it, highlight it, gift it; the world needs Jeanette's light."
Jennifer Boonlorn
"This long-anticipated collection of Jeannette's has been a revelation of hope and audacity in a time it is most needed. Buy this and anything she's offering for yourself and your people. I know I will continue to do so!"
Gretchen Midkiff
"Not your mother's self-help book! Jeanette's words bring you back to the moments in your life when you felt lost, when you were stricken with grief or uncertainty. They remind you that you survived those moments and will survive whatever you're currently struggling with. Her words catch you, like falling into a feather bed, soft and warm. They envelope you with support. Every page is a poem, a balm for your spirit. Just beautiful."
Kimberly Shepard
This book puts into the most beautiful words the shared experiences of love, loss, and forgiveness. Jeanette gives you wild permission to be you and acknowledges that you are not alone in this heartbreaking and hilarious mess that is the life of a woman.
