Hi beautiful human! My name is Cat, and I’m the founder of the Awake Book Club. Thank you for being here.
This space is more than a book club—it’s a movement rooted in our shared commitment to growth, truth, and collective consciousness. Here, we gather to explore the stories, ideas, and perspectives that challenge the status quo and inspire us to expand our minds and hearts.
Our mission is threefold:
Spiritual Growth
Through the transformative power of literature, we aim to nurture deeper connections with ourselves and the world around us. Every book we read offers an opportunity to reflect, heal, and grow.
Decolonized History Education
We dive into works that uncover hidden truths, question dominant narratives, and honor the richness of diverse histories. By learning from the past, we empower ourselves to build a more equitable and inclusive future.
Expansion of Consciousness
We embrace books that spark curiosity, stretch our imaginations, and invite us to see the world from new perspectives. Together, we expand what we believe is possible—for ourselves and for humanity.
Whether you’re here to deepen your understanding, find a like-minded community, or simply enjoy powerful storytelling, you’ve found the right place.
Let’s read, learn, and awaken—together.

Here’s how the Awake Book Club works:
📖 Monthly Book Selections-At the start of each month, a carefully chosen book will be announced. Each selection will align with our mission to explore themes of spiritual growth, decolonized history, and expanding consciousness. This part of the journey is accessible to all subscribers, including those on the free plan.
📝 End-of-Month Reflections-For paying subscribers ($5 per month), I’ll share an in-depth review at the end of each month that includes:
Standout Moments: The sections that moved me, challenged me, or stayed with me long after I finished reading.
Fave Quotes: Words that sparked inspiration or new ways of thinking.
Reflections: My thoughts on how the book aligns with our mission and how it might resonate with us collectively.
Questions for You: Prompts to help you reflect on your own reading experience and how the book connects to your life.
This is a space for both personal discovery and communal growth. Whether you read along every month or pop in when a title speaks to you, I hope these reflections deepen your connection to the book and inspire rich conversations within our community.
Society as we once knew it is no longer. Instead of leaning into despair, I am choosing to channel my energy into avenues that inspire imagination, foster education, and nurture community.
One of the many reasons I love that we can connect on substack is that we’re circumventing an algorithm and avoiding the interruption that so many social media channels impose upon our connections. In other words, we can learn without interference.
Together, I truly believe we can create the world we envision—but we have to start somewhere. This is one of the ways my spirit is calling me to contribute to that vision.
I hope this mission resonates with you and sparks something within you as we take this journey together. Let’s imagine, learn, and build—together. 🫂
