Becoming Myself

Many women live with a quiet ache, wondering if real change is possible. We long to become the women God created us to be—but feel held back by shame, fear, comparison, or wounds from the past. In Becoming Myself, Stasi Eldredge invites you to journey with her through the deep questions of identity, transformation, and hope.

Drawing from Scripture and her own story, Stasi offers both gentle wisdom and fierce encouragement for women who want to grow—but don’t know where to start. This book reminds us that we’re not alone and we’re not stuck. God is at work in us—and He’s not finished yet.

To explore how desire and transformation work hand in hand, read The Journey of Desire.

The origin of Becoming Myself

Out of years of counseling, mentoring, and her own healing journey, Stasi Eldredge wrote Becoming Myself to speak honestly about the struggles many women face. She shares candidly about areas of deep personal transformation—offering both vulnerability and hope.

This is not a book of quick fixes or formulas. It’s a compassionate guide for any woman who has ever wondered: “Can I really change?” Stasi’s answer, grounded in Scripture and story, is yes—because God is still shaping you.

A foundation of the Wild at Heart message

Becoming Myself expands on themes introduced in Wild at Heart's women’s resources, inviting women to live from their restored hearts. It affirms that transformation isn’t just possible—it’s promised through Jesus.
