Walk With Me
An Invitation To Grow Deep
I’m on a journey out of fear and shame toward love and self acceptance. Perhaps you are, too. Life offers the opportunity to learn and grow until we take our last breath. I wish that for me, and I wish that for you.
An invitation to grow deeper
I am on a journey out of fear toward love. We all are. When we truly love ourselves, we become able to grow into who we were always meant to be. We become able to uplift and assist others.

Your Turn: How to Be an Adult
Being an adult, it turns out, is not about any particular checklist; it is, instead, a process, one you can get progressively better at over time―becoming more comfortable with uncertainty and gaining the knowhow to keep going. Once you begin to practice it, being an adult becomes the most complicated yet also the most abundantly rewarding and natural thing. And Julie Lythcott-Haims is here to help readers take their turn.
On Race
Real American: A Memoir
In this powerful and award-winning reflection on identity, belonging, and community, Julie details growing up Black and biracial in white spaces. She shares the toll that racism, discrimination, and microaggressions took on her self-worth, and how she found acceptance through the healing power of community.
On parenting

A New York Times best-seller. In this provocative anti-helicopter parenting manifesto, Julie highlights the ways overparenting harms children, their parents, and society at large—and offers practical alternative strategies for raising kids to be self-sufficient, resilient, and successful.
ON WRITING
Writing Memoir
