Synopsis

This raw and relatable guide to radical self-care and self-love empowers readers to embrace the powerful Diosa within.

In this fiercely inspiring book from a fresh new voice in the women's empowerment space, psychotherapist Christine Gutierrez welcomes women to join her in healing the wounds from past hurt or trauma to reclaim their worth and come back home to their true self and soul.

Diosa is the Spanish word for Goddess. A diosa is anyone who honors the primal feminine energy in the world and within themselves. According to Gutierrez, diosas face obstacles in their lives but are always ready and willing to go to their core to reclaim their inner worth and self-esteem. They are the ones that rise from the ashes and dare to piece themselves back together bone by bone and soul piece by soul piece. From stories of resilience from both Gutierrez and members of her Diosa Tribe, to mantras, meditations, and guided journaling prompts, this book gives women the tools they need to honor their sacred feminine and become who they were always meant to be.

I Am Diosa will inspire women to give themselves permission to feel, to be seen, to be heard, and to return to their truest selves.

Goodreads review by D. on July 01, 2021

Pros: A lot of helpful journal prompts. Cons: Fluffy. Focuses WAY too much on dating. A majority of the examples used don’t need to be about a romantic relationship between a man & a woman—but they are. There are other experiences in life to reference. At least, I hope so. Repetitive. So, so, so rep......more

Goodreads review by Monique on December 18, 2020

I’m not sure how to start this review. I really wanted to like this book but it just isn’t for me. I made it to page 200 where I read that the author’s fiancé “crafted a goodbye text” for a retreat goer to send to her not-so-great boyfriend and I had to stop reading. Something about this screams RED......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on December 31, 2023

3.5 rounded up for me because of the author's relatability, vulnerability in sharing her own story, and the accessibility of the exercises, journaling prompts, and healing rituals. This is a "take what you need and leave the rest" type of book. Some sections really resonated and facilitated breakthr......more

Goodreads review by Dalma on September 19, 2020

Raw, authentic, inspiring. The spiritual aspect ended up being a major positive surprise for me, though there were still parts I did not resonate with. It got repetitive towards the end, and a lot of it was not new for me. But a lot of it WAS new, which I did not expect as I have read a lot of self-......more


Quotes

“Gutierrez's words are at the same time raw and elegant, ancient and modern. It’s exactly what’s needed for the future we need to create. I Am Diosa is for every modern woman who craves a wisdom that's been denied to us for too long. Read and USE this magical book.”
Rebekah Borucki, mother, author, and advocate
 
 
“Christine Gutiérrez is a brilliant and powerful force who embodies everything she teaches. I Am Diosa walks you through the inner process of understanding your past and healing your wounds so that you can live a vibrant, authentic and empowered life. I Am Diosa is for those who are ready for serious transformation.
Yung Pueblo, author of Inward
 
 
“Finally, a book that beautifully and effectively combines a psychologically grounded perspective with ancient wisdom for cultivating self-love, self-care and deep healing. I Am Diosa is a step-by-step guide to true transformation and authentic empowerment.”
Terri Cole, licensed psychotherapist
 
 
“I Am Diosa is the book we all need right now. Christine masterfully weaves psychology, soul, and her compelling personal story as an offering to come back home to our true, unbroken, and Diosa selves. I Am Diosa is raw and real, and though Christine is an “expert” and therapist, she speaks in the language of an hermana. She is a welcome and much-needed voice in the all-too-white world of “self-help.” Christine’s gift is that she speaks from the wholeness of her truth leaving nothing out—shadow, trauma, or addiction. She has worked hard to heal, she has earned her scars, and her journey is our initiation.” 
Robyn Moreno, author & Curandera
