Say no to hustle culture, and yes to a life of ease. Lisa Hurley, Anthem Award-winning activist and founder of The Great Exhale, provides you with an inspiring and practical guide to help you beat burnout, embrace rest, and live a soft, fulfilling life.

Part memoir, part manifesto, part meditation manual, Space To Exhale is a self-help book that empowers you to put your mask on first, remove your superhero cape, and create lasting life-work balance. 

Lisa draws on her experience as a Reiki Master, community builder, and burnout survivor, sharing anecdotes about her trials and triumphs - as well as the tools that have helped her transform. Through healing modalities like affirmations, meditations, and breathwork, as well as her powerful Exhalation Point framework, Lisa guides you on a life-changing journey to help you:

  • Know Yourself: Remember who you are, align with your values, and celebrate your strengths.
  • Love Yourself: Practice positive self-talk, select your close circle, and prioritize rest.
  • Be Yourself: Show up authentically, protect your energy, and live a soft, centered, serene life.


Filled with soft-life strategies and written with Lisa’s warmth, wit, and well-earned wisdom, Space To Exhale invites you to curate a life filled with joy, peace, and glimmers of delight. This transformative handbook is for anyone who is tired of feeling tired and is ready to get some rest; for Black women who are done with being the "Strong Black Woman,” and are ready to step into their Soft Black Woman era; and for everyone who is ready to live a life that truly serves their highest good.

Space To Exhale is a balm for the spirit. It earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of anyone seeking to curate a life filled with love, alignment, and peace - so they can move from merely surviving to vibrantly thriving.
