 You are seen, you are loved, and you are heard!

Before Tabitha Brown was one of the most popular personalities in the world, sharing her delicious vegan home cooking and compassionate wisdom with millions of followers across social media, she was an aspiring actress who in 2016 began struggling with undiagnosed chronic autoimmune pain. Her condition made her believe she wouldn’t live to see forty--until she started listening to what her soul and her body truly needed. Now, in this life-changing book, Tabitha shares the wisdom she gained from her own journey, showing readers how to make a life for themselves that is rooted in nonjudgmental kindness and love, both for themselves and for others.

Tabitha grounds her lessons in stories about her own life, career, faith, and family in this funny, down-to-earth book, built around the catchphrases that her fans know and love, including:

Hello There!: Why hope, joy, and clarity are so very needed

That’s Your Business: Defining yourself, and being okay with that

Have the Most Amazing Day . . . : Choosing joy and living with intention

But Don’t Go Messin’ Up No One Else’s: Learning to walk in kindness even when the world doesn’t feel kind

Like So, Like That: Living life without measurement

Very Good: Living in peace and creating good from the bad

Rich with personal stories and inspirational quotes, and sprinkled with a few easy vegan recipes, Feeding the Soul is a book to share--and to return to when you want to feel seen, loved, and heard.

[Karolyn Marshall · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent Book. This book was so heartwarming and filled with stories of vision, delay, persistence, endurance and reward. It felt so authentic and relatable, not stuffy or distant. The Tabitha you see is the real Tabitha and she encourages others to remain in yourself and be comfortable with it. Thank you for sharing your struggles and wins with the world. I appreciate you.

This book was absolutely amazing, full of life wisdom. I love that it was read by Tabitha. The recipes throughout were a bonus! I also enjoyed just how relatable, honest & encouraging this was. When she shared her mother praying I could feel something within me move higher and higher. 10/10 recommend!

My only gripe is I can’t find the enhancement with all the recipes ?.

Wonderfully uplifting. I expected nothing less from Ms. Tab as she has helped me change my entire outlook on life with her warmth and positivity via social media. Hearing her story and connecting to the kindness she now exudes really tied it all together for me. This book is life changing! We are more than our circumstances and we have the ability to achieve all things if we only believe in ourselves and our abilities. Do yourself a favor and uplift yourself with this gem! Splurge for the audiobook and envelope yourself in the soothing southern drawl of Ms. Tab along the way.

Tabitha is such an old soul. Such great tips learned along her journey to fame. She is a true example of what it means to be resilient and determined. I enjoyed every bit of her story.

[ivywriter · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is my second time reading this book. As always, a great book and I love listening to Tabitha Brown's down home voice, it's so soothing and authentic. First time I read this book was 2022. I turned 50 in 2023 and it's currently January 2024. This time around, I read it with a little more intensity and I believe being on this side of 50, all of the stories and anecdotes hit me a little differently and I was able to absorb and understand a few things better this time. I'm also reading the Seen and Heard guided journal that goes along with this book. It's a great addition and opportunity to reflect on you and areas where you need to focus on.
