Say no to hustle culture, and yes to a life of ease. Lisa Hurley, Anthem Award-winning activist and founder of The Great Exhale, provides you with an inspiring and practical guide to help you beat burnout, embrace rest, and live a soft, fulfilling life.

Part memoir, part manifesto, part meditation manual, Space To Exhale is a self-help book that empowers you to put your mask on first, remove your superhero cape, and create lasting life-work balance. 

Lisa draws on her experience as a Reiki Master, community builder, and burnout survivor, sharing anecdotes about her trials and triumphs—as well as the tools that have helped her transform. Through healing modalities like affirmations, meditations, and breathwork, as well as her powerful Exhalation Point framework, Lisa guides you on a life-changing journey to help you:

Know Yourself: Remember who you are, align with your values, and celebrate your strengths. Love Yourself: Practice positive self-talk, select your close circle, and prioritize rest. Be Yourself: Show up authentically, protect your energy, and live a soft, centered, serene life.

Filled with soft-life strategies and written with Lisa’s warmth, wit, and well-earned wisdom, Space To Exhale invites you to curate a life filled with joy, peace, and glimmers of delight. This transformative handbook is for anyone who is tired of feeling tired and is ready to get some rest; for Black women who are done with being the ""Strong Black Woman,” and are ready to step into their Soft Black Woman era; and for everyone who is ready to live a life that truly serves their highest good.

Space To Exhale is a balm for the spirit. It earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of anyone seeking to curate a life filled with love, alignment, and peace—so they can move from merely surviving to vibrantly thriving.
