Embrace Your Inner Badass
I’m excited to share something new with you today. I’ve recently set a personal challenge: to finally finish all the books in my library! As someone who loves to dive into inspiring reads, my shelves are... well, a little overloaded. To make it fun (and to actually read every page!), I’ll be sharing key takeaways, favorite quotes, and lessons from each book along the way. If it resonates with you, you might even end up with a book in your mailbox!
To kick things off, let’s talk about You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero—a powerful and practical guide to self-belief and transformation.
Why This Book?
You Are a Badass is like having a tough-love coach in book form, complete with humor, raw honesty, and the occasional nudge out of your comfort zone. Sincero’s writing style feels like a friendly (but firm) pep talk, encouraging us to take charge of our lives by shedding self-doubt, pushing through discomfort, and owning our greatness. In her words, it’s time to “become the biggest, most unapologetic badass version of yourself.”
What You’ll Learn
Sincero presents a mix of mindset shifts, practical exercises, and motivational wisdom to get us past self-imposed barriers. Here’s a taste of what’s inside:
Breaking Free of Old Patterns: She tackles the self-sabotaging beliefs that keep us “safe” and comfortable but also stuck. If you’re serious about making changes, this book shows you how to stop letting those patterns hold you back.
Self-Love & Confidence Building: It’s not just about superficial confidence; Sincero encourages a real sense of self-worth that comes from within. Her exercises are designed to help us shed negative self-talk and see ourselves as capable, worthy, and ready for anything.
Taking Action (No Excuses): In Sincero’s world, action is the magic ingredient. One of her most memorable quotes from the book sums this up perfectly: "If you are serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse." It’s a powerful reminder to stop waiting for the perfect conditions and start taking steps toward our goals now.
My Key Takeaway
Reading You Are a Badass reminded me that we often hold ourselves back with excuses, no matter how “valid” they may seem. It’s easy to blame timing, circumstances, or fear of failure, but as Sincero says, if you want something bad enough, you’ll find a way to make it happen. This message hit home and is pushing me to lean into my own projects without waiting for “the right time.”
