Publisher's Summary
For those who are givers, carers, and empaths, a guide to focusing that energy on yourself—even if that feels frightening, from popular LGBTQ+ activist and advocate Jeffrey Marsh.
Like many of us, Jeffrey Marsh was conditioned to have an outward focus—to give to others, to be a good listener, and to be the one who gave the best advice. In Marsh’s case, it was a method of survival. Growing up genderfluid in an unaccepting family, Marsh did everything they could to meet the needs of others and not have needs of their own. And ultimately, this meant Marsh put themself in the backseat of their own life.
In this heartfelt and sincere book, Marsh shares their story and the lessons they learned on the path back to themselves. Whether you’re a survivor of abuse and trauma like Marsh or you’ve passively accepted that your worth ought to be defined by your usefulness to others, Take Your Own Advice will give you the confidence to lead your life on your terms, and to prioritize what’s important: you.
It’s time that you learn to put yourself first, to take care of yourself, and to ask others to listen to you for a change. You do give the best advice, after all!
What the critics say
"It doesn’t cost us anything to let others be freely themselves, rather it is an invitation to us all to live more fully. Jeffrey is a light that inspires inclusion and freedom to be…just as we are."—Hilaria Baldwin, actress and entrepreneur, co-founder of Yoga Vida, and author of The Living Clearly Method
"I wish I had been friends with Jeffrey when they were growing up to give their beautiful soul a confidant. Their story feels universal, and deeply personal. Take Your Own Advice should be required reading for anyone who learned to sacrifice their own happiness to keep others happy."—Meredith Salenger, actress and activist
"At a time when 'self-care' can mean many things, Jeffrey Marsh's heartfelt memoir is a guide to self-love for the everyperson. And their story—one powered by audacity, truth and kindness—empowers us to be just as as assured and authentic as we are."—Tre'vell Anderson, author of We See Each Other: A Black, Trans Journey Through TV and Film

Jeffrey is amazing.
Both of Jeffrey’s books have taught me so much. I think they’re work can easily speak to even those who do not identify within the LGBTQ spectrum. Anyone with some type of childhood trauma can get something out of Jeffrey’s books.

Amazing Book
This book was amazing and just what I needed to read right now. Anyone who has dealt with trauma in their life (who hasn’t) could benefit from reading this book. I’ve struggled most of my life with feeling broken and this book reminded me that I am not broken, and to stop seeking so much outside of myself and literally take my own advice.
