Hello my beautiful cherry blossoms 💮 it feels like forever since I’ve checked in with you! I’ve been pretty much silent on here and socials and I can finally tell you why 🥹…
I HAVE OFFICIALLY FINISHED WRITING BOOK NUMBER 2! And when I tell you it has taken everything in me to write it. I physically couldn’t think about content or creating anything else, I’ve been tucked away writing morning until night for months and I am feeling SO. MANY. THINGS. now that it’s ready to go out into the world.
It’s even pre-order-able 🫣
But first things first, let me show you what she looks like…
And maybe a little blurb?
Bestselling author Megan Jayne Crabbe lays bare all the ways that we still shrink ourselves in today’s world, showing us the way back to our biggest selves.
From body ideals to bad break ups, sexual shame to toxic productivity, Megan dives into the cultural narratives that keep us small, using her own deeply personal stories to illustrate how we can break free and live life as our fullest and boldest selves.
Candid, empowering and insightful, We Don't Make Ourselves Smaller Here is a powerful rallying cry for embracing authenticity in all areas of our lives. It is an invitation to revisit the places where parts of us were lost, taken or given away, and to reclaim them.
Yep, I’ve written a whole book about not making ourselves small 💜 my first book was all about the body, and this one goes beyond. If that sounds like something you want on your bookshelf, you can pre-order it here!
It’s an incredibly vulnerable thing, writing a book. I’ve poured my heart and soul into these pages, and now strangers get to tell me what they think about it. It’s scary. But I hope - I think - I’ve written words that will reach through to whoever’s reading them, hold, reassure, anger, inspire, and remind us of who the fuck we are.
I want us to be able to look back on our lives one day and say that we didn’t make ourselves smaller here. So that’s the book I wrote. I really hope you love her.
She’s out June 26th ✨
In the meantime, I’ll be doing my best to get back to regular scheduled programming and trying to take care of myself so that I’m prepared for whatever comes next!
I’ve missed you guys 🤗 as always, comments are open to any and all updates, questions, general musings, and I will do my best to come back to you all in reasonable time!
Big big love and appreciation 💜

So lovely to see you in my inbox again! First of all CONGRATS on the book, I can't wait to read it! What an important message and incredible achievement 🤗
Speaking of not making ourselves smaller, I've definitely been getting bigger over the past 7 months as I'm finally pregnant after years of trying 🤰🏼 it's been magical but also difficult, especially with a recent gestational diabetes diagnosis which was hard to navigate as it brought up a lot of my old disordered eating mindset with the restrictions. But I'm doing better now finally accepting the help of medicine which has been a relief.
Anywho, only ~2 more months to go 😱
Sending so much love and strength to get through the book launch! 🩷💜🩵
