Brianna Wiest’s The Mountain Is You is a self-development guide centered on the idea that the biggest obstacles in our lives—the “mountains” we face—are not external challenges but patterns of self-sabotage. These behaviors often look like procrastination, fear, indecision, or destructive habits. While frustrating, Wiest reframes them as survival mechanisms that once protected us. The book’s purpose is to help readers transform those internal mountains into pathways of growth.
“This book club is about digging deep, gaining perspective, and integrating change into your life in order to live in alignment with your true values”

What if I miss a week?
Life happens! If you miss a session, you can use the workbook prompts and take-home practices to stay on track. You’ll also receive a brief recap so you won’t fall behind.
Do I need to read the whole book in advance?
No. We’ll move through The Mountain Is You bi-weekly together. You’ll receive guided questions and activities tied to each section.
