With You Can Do All Things, Kate Allan has given us such a gift. In You Can Do All Things, Kate shares her struggles with anxiety and depression, which started when she was just a child. She delves into other crushing aches, such as self-loathing and hopelessness, which sadly often accompany anxiety and depression.
I see myself in so much of Kate’s writing—and yet, I haven’t been able to pinpoint and put into words these hurts before. This to me may be the ultimate sign of an incredible book: when the author articulates something you feel so acutely in your own heart, but haven’t been able to clearly express or truly grasp.
In fact, I had many a-ha! moments while reading this beautiful book. I especially love Kate’s hopeful, unique take on hopelessness, and her nuanced view of feeling unworthy in relationships. These insights can have a profound effect on our lives, on our days. Because once we understand ourselves better, we have the power to support ourselves, to find what we need, one step at a time.
Through her honest words, uplifting illustrations, and actionable suggestions, Kate also encourages us to keep trying and to keep going. She reminds us that we can indeed persevere, even when things are seemingly .
You Can Do All Things is like a best friend: real, raw, and generous in its support. It is a book that says, “I hear you,” and “I’m here for you.” It is a book that says, “Yes, you are strong and capable, whether you feel it or not.”
You Can Do All Things is a book you pick up when you need to remember that you are indeed worthy, even and especially as you’re struggling and questioning yourself, and yearning not to struggle.
Drawing and writing are a vital part of Kate’s coping toolkit. In addition to using her illustrations as encouragement, we can use them as inspiration to create something of our own. Because when we use our voices, we not only express what’s swirling inside our hearts and souls, but we also stake our claim. We speak up for ourselves. And that is powerful. We tell ourselves: My struggles are real. They are valid. But they do not define me. I am so much more.
