When I started reading Unleashing the Power Within by Lisa McCarthy, I didn’t expect it to touch me so personally. Each poem felt like a soft voice speaking directly to me, reminding me that I still have strength inside me, even when I feel lost. It felt like Lisa had been through similar emotions and was sharing her heart with honesty and kindness. Her poems made me pause, think, and sometimes even cry because they felt so real and close to my own journey.

One thing I really loved is how simple and clear the poems are. Lisa talks about self-love, faith, setting boundaries, and finding joy in small things. The poem March On, Brave Soul really stayed with me—it gave me the courage to keep going and believe in myself, especially during hard days. And The Butterfly’s Lesson on Life was such a sweet reminder that change takes time, and every stage of life matters.

This book helped me reflect on my past and reminded me to be gentle with myself. The poems about trusting God and not giving up gave me a sense of peace. I didn’t feel judged or overwhelmed while reading—just supported and seen. I found myself going back to reread some of the poems whenever I needed a little encouragement or a moment of calm.

If you’ve been feeling low, stuck, or unsure about your path, I would really recommend this book. It’s easy to understand, full of hope, and written from the heart. You don’t have to be a big poetry reader to enjoy it. Lisa’s words will remind you that you’re not alone, and that it’s okay to take small steps toward healing and happiness.

I didn’t expect a poetry book to feel like a conversation with a wise friend, but that’s exactly what this felt like. The themes of overcoming fear and discovering inner strength are beautifully written and incredibly empowering.

Every page felt like a breath of fresh air. Lisa’s ability to capture deep emotions and wrap them in hope and clarity is nothing short of amazing. I found myself rereading several poems just to absorb their truth.

[Juniper · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book spoke to my soul. Every poem feels like it was written during a conversation with God and gifted to the reader as a reminder of their worth. It’s uplifting, honest, and full of light. Lisa’s words helped me reconnect with my inner strength.

"Unleashing the Power Within by Lisa McCarthy is a collection of original poems that cover multiple themes, with each reading as a standalone, and all ranging greatly in length, tone, and tenor. The poem New Year, New Chapter uses a rhythmic, chant-like structure and an optimistic tone to encourage looking inward and goal setting, symbolizing transformation at the start of the new year. Embracing Life with Gratitude and Joy uses a smooth, flowing rhythm to harness the importance of living with gratitude and a positive attitude, even in hardship. A Helping Hand is structured with rhymed quatrains (ABAB) and a steady rhythm, leaning into the impact of kindness and compassion. My Promise of Heavenly Father uses a reflective style to convey reassurance, divine guidance, and strength during difficult times.

Unleashing the Power Within: A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Poetry by Lisa McCarthy is a beautiful poetry collection, and I went back multiple times to reread several pieces of McCarthy's work. It's so hard to pick a favorite, but I love March On, Brave Soul, which uses rhymed verse to deliver a powerful message of resilience, encouraging readers to embrace change and recognize their own strength. A steady rhythm and rhyme to create a sense of urgency and forward motion is one of the hardest things to capture on a page, but McCarthy does it easily. I also enjoyed The Butterfly's Lesson on Life, which is written in rhymed couplets and uses the symbolism of the butterfly’s metamorphosis to illustrate transformation and fleeting beauty. Here, McCarthy’s adept use of rhyme and meter elevates the impact of her words. Overall, this is a remarkable collation of work and one that lovers of poetry will agree is absolutely worth a read. Very highly recommended".
