If your August is anything like mine—busy, beautiful, and a little chaotic—then you probably don’t have time to curl up with a book every day.

But that doesn’t mean growth has to wait.

Lately, I’ve been all about audiobooks on Audible—the easiest way to sneak in mindset shifts, energy resets, and a little personal growth between everything else (even while walking the cat 🐾).

Here are five audiobooks I’ve been loving this month—each one helping me move through resistance, heal, and build habits that stick:

🎧 1. Self Help – Gabrielle Bernstein
An Audible Original that feels like a spiritual hug. Less hustle, more healing.
🔑 Key Takeaway: You’re not broken—you’re just disconnected from your true self.
🌿 Perfect For: Reconnecting with your intuition + softening your energy.

💥 2. The Let Them Theory – Mel Robbins
A wake-up call for people-pleasers everywhere.
🔑 Key Takeaway: Let them misunderstand. Let them go. Your peace > their opinion.
⚡ Perfect For: Reclaiming time + mental space.

🧠 3. The Mountain Is You – Brianna Wiest
A powerful guide to overcoming self-sabotage (without shame).
🔑 Key Takeaway: Old identities can keep you stuck.
🌱 Perfect For: Breaking patterns gently.

🌙 4. You Are the Guru – Gabrielle Bernstein
Under 2 hours and packed with guidance you already have within.
🔑 Key Takeaway: You don’t need answers—you need access to your inner voice.
✨ Perfect For: Grounding in uncertain times.

⚙️ 5. Atomic Habits – James Clear
Popular for a reason. Learn how to build real change with micro-moves.
🔑 Key Takeaway: Tiny habits = massive results over time.
💪 Perfect For: Anyone rebuilding routines after burnout.

Why I’m Team Audiobooks:
✅ Multitasking-friendly
✅ Soothing narration = better retention
✅ Perfect for burnout, busy brains, or neurodivergent days
✅ Fits into real life, not ideal routines
✅ Authors’ voices make it personal
