Girl, Stop Apologizing: A Shame-Free Plan for Embracing and Achieving Your Goals by Rachel Hollis
Last week, I finished up the well-talked about personal development book, Girl, Stop Apologizing.
I read Girl, Wash Your Face before it became very popular, but I have to admit Rachel Hollis really levels up her game with her newest book, almost putting the first one to shame!
Girl, Stop Apologizing, is less about Rachel’s life and more about your own.
That’s right.
It’s time to face YOUR fears, YOUR shame and get to work on achieving what you know you’re capable of.
Rachel gives step-by-step instructions on how to get out of your own way and step into the life you’ve envisioned for yourself.
The best part?
She promises it will be hard.
She promises it will TAKE TIME.
But she builds up your confidence in such a way that you want throw yourself a dance party after you finish every chapter.
Here is what we pulled from Amazon:
Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women not living into their full potential. They feel a tugging on their hearts for something more, but they’re afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough.
In Girl, Stop Apologizing, #1 New York Times bestselling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company, Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people—whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee—instead of learning how to own who they are and what they want. With a challenge to women everywhere to stop talking themselves out of their dreams, Hollis identifies the excuses to let go of, the behaviors to adopt, and the skills to acquire on the path to growth, confidence, and believing in yourself.
An excerpt from Girl, Stop Apologizing.
‘How can I get my mom to be more supportive?
How do I convince my husband to watch the kids so I can workout?
How can I get my boyfriend to eat healthy with me so it’s easier for me to stay on track?
How can I get my dad to support my decision to change majors?
The best advice I know of in this situation is, if you want to change someone else, change yourself. People change because they’re inspired by someone else’s example, not because they were coerced into doing it.
People change because they see in someone else what’s Probable, not because someone harasses them over and over about what’s Possible.
You will never change someone else unless you find the courage and the will and the resolve to change Yourself. You will never do any of those things if you aren’t willing to let people be inconvenienced by your journey'.
