Description
From the author of How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t comes 25 transformational truths to face the hard stuff, stop living on autopilot, recognize your patterns, and finally change by owning your greatness.
Do you ever feel your life could be more? There are so many reasons we hide ourselves, hold back, or accept patterns that don’t serve us. But if you’re ready for change and looking for ways to level up in your life, Andrea Owen gives wisdom drawn from her own lived experience, 15+ years as a self-help leader, with a savvy outlook and her unique and authentic voice.
Embrace the true grit and determination that live inside you and be proud of how you show up, every damn day. To “live like you give a damn” is to consciously stand in the power that is your one great life. Your existence is not a dress rehearsal but the real show. Andrea offers straight-shooting advice on common beliefs that trip you up and keep you stuck. Learn 25 behaviors to help you implement and practice a new way of living, including:
• How to actually change, not just saying that you want to
• Parenting yourself and getting out of self-sabotaging cycles
• Finding your purpose and redefining success in alignment with who you are
• Believing you were meant to have and deserve more
• Consciously choosing to step into your potential even when your inner critic tells you otherwise
With wisdom, humor, and honesty, Andrea offers stories, concrete steps and practical exercises to remind you that it’s every person’s birthright to live a fulfilling life. “This is your life. There are no refunds,” writes Andrea. “You’ve been bestowed the beautiful gift of agency, free will, and the desire to improve your future. No one can do it but you, and that’s good news because no one else will do it as phenomenally as you.”

I'm a huge fan of Owen's because I enjoy her writing style and she covers topics I identify with. Her latest speaks to me directly. Letting go of fear to live the life I'm meant to - yes, please! It's just not that easy, and Owen's writes all about getting through the blocks. I found the steps to freedom from fear easy to learn and implement. This is a book I want a lot of my friends to read! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
