Facing Madame X

Jamie Rose is an author and life coach mentored by legendary therapist Phil Stutz, the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Tools, and subject of the hit Netflix documentary, Stutz. Now, Rose brings a woman’s perspective to his work with Facing Madame X: The Tools for Women.

One of Stutz’s main teachings is that everyone has an inner enemy called “Part X”—the voice that says you’re not enough, and you’ll never succeed, so don’t even try. For women, these messages are made more potent by a patriarchy that declares that they’re not pretty, thin, young, smart, or polite as they could or should be. Rose labels the specifically pernicious way this “X” force attacks women as “Madame X.”

Facing Madame X teaches readers how to identify and neutralize the inner saboteur that has suppressed, disconnected, or overpowered their potential. Through case studies of her clients and her own personal journey, Rose helps women to, finally, hear and trust their inner voice and connect to the archetypical spirit that is their birthright—the divine feminine—a powerful, creatively benevolent force that will help them reach their full, uniquely beautiful potential and create the life that always felt just beyond their grasp.
