Sips of Sovereignty

A curated list of books I've read, recommended, and poured from. Each one gave me something I couldn't have named on my own — clarity, language, a reframe, or a straight-up gut check. I read excerpts aloud in the MHM Sips of Sovereignty series, so sip what resonates. Leave what doesn't.

Complimentary Item

The MHM Reading List is a working library — curated from the books I've actually read, recommended, and poured from in clinical work. This isn't a static list, and it isn't exhaustive. It grows as the work does and as new texts earn their spot.
