There is a lot of pressure this time of year, what with family stuff, eating, drinking. And all of those things can be triggering and sensitive for us.
Today I’m talking to my friend Andrea Owen who has a very timely book out called How to Stop Feeling Like Shit: 14 Habits that are Holding You Back from Happiness. Andrea is an author, a mentor, and a certified life coach. She helps high-achieving women let go of perfectionism, control, and isolation, and she teaches people to choose courage and confidence.
I love this book because it’s all about how many fucks you should give, who to include in your inner circle, and more. Basically it’s just about how to live a happier life, and who doesn’t want that?
