Marianne Ingheim tells the story of how the practice of self-compassion changed her life in ways big and small—inspiring readers to unlearn self-critical patterns in their own lives and live a happier, more courageous life.We all tell ourselves stories about who we are. Many of these stories are self-critical and disempowering. Through the practice of self-compassion, we can rewrite these stories and become more authentic and powerful versions of ourselves - transforming not only our own lives but also the lives of those around us. In short and personal pieces, Marianne Ingheim tells the story of how the practice of self-compassion has changed her life in ways big and small, helping her unlearn harsh self-criticism, survive multiple tragedies, and live more authentically. In the wake of a breast cancer diagnosis and her husband's suicide, she discovers the power of self-compassionate storytelling and finds belonging within herself - and in doing so, she learns how to manage anxiety and stress, how to be authentic in relationships, and how to let go of comparison and be truly creative. Through stories and journaling prompts, Out of Love: Finding Your Way Back to Self-Compassion aims to inspire readers to unlearn the self-critical patterns holding them hostage - and begin to live a happier, more courageous life.

“In order to truly transform our lives we must be willing to go within ourselves and release the inner critic, shame, and self-blame. We can do this through more self-compassion, journaling, and learning through others stories. And Marianne's book does just that—this guide can light your path with warmth, joy and love, leading you to the ultimate destination, self-love.”
— Shannon Kaiser, best-selling author of The Self-Love Experiment and Joy Seeker
“Marianne’s book is the story of her journey from self-doubt and blame to self-compassion. Many women struggle with similar issues of perfectionism and unworthiness, and this book offers the reader an invitation to travel on her own journey out of the debilitating confines of old beliefs. Breast cancer was one of the issues that initiated the transformation for Marianne as it woke her up to the many changes she wanted to make in her life. She shares her personal struggles and offers questions and writing prompts to guide the reader to confront her own inner self critics and ‘comparison gremlins.’ The essential directive she gives to herself and others is the affirming message: ‘Be fiercely you.’ This book will help you get there.”
—Patricia Greer, PhD, Jungian analyst, author of Breast Cancer: A Soul Journey and Soul Play: A Workbook
“Out of Love is a beautiful testament to what it means to deeply understand ourselves and to find wisdom in even our most painful experiences. By sharing her own journey with vulnerable transparency, Marianne shares the power of women touching their inner knowing and using it as a compass for moving through both the heartbreaks and the heart openings. Marianne’s discovery that self-compassionate storytelling is at the core of living an empowered life will inspire women who similarly seek to rewrite their stories—quite literally—and step into greater courage, joy, and authenticity.”
—Kelly McNelis, Founder of Women For One, author of Your Messy Brilliance
“This is a beautiful, courageous book that peers straight into the dark places that scare us with the eyes of love. Through a series of deeply moving personal stories, and written in a way that invites the reader to tell their own story, this book charts a path of profound healing through self-compassion.”
—Dr. Kristin Neff, best-selling author of Self-Compassion and The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook
