I loved this book.This book is inspiring you to be the best version of yourself. To stop apologizing, to go after your goals and chase dreams. Rachel wants you to be the best version of you because she understands society is not about “I”. It’s about “We”. We work best when we work along side one another encouraging others and being encouraged.I know there has been some negative comments on this book. A few people feel triggered about weight comments or hearing about her getting breast implants. However, those comments were never made to make you feel bad.Rachel understands that weight is an issue for a lot of people who feel uncomfortable about it. As a fat person reading this, I was never triggered. I never once, while reading this, felt like Rachel was judging me. She was speaking to me on how to be more inspired about weight loss.I started that journey over two years ago and its been an off and on thing. This book is inspiring me to get back on the journey. Not because of shame, but because I wanna be the best person I can be and follow my goals.She also points out that when we take lead, others follow suit. It reminds me that my step daughter sees what I do. I don’t want her to lose her goals in life of being a lawyer. I don’t want her to become unfocused on that. I wanna be a positive example, just like her wonderful mother is.Rachel doesn’t talk about looks because she wants everyone to look like a bar by doll. Rachel talks about looks because when we like the way we look we feel better. You like wearing leggings? Wear them! You love the way your hair bounces in a pony tail? Wear it! You like make up? Wear it! You don’t like make up? Don’t wear it. Rachel reminds us that when we put work into ourselves in area’s we are comfortable with or like, that we are much more confident.It’s never to compare yourself to her. That isn’t the goal of her talking about getting her hair done. The goal of that is to show you that when she does the things she likes, she is more confident. She wants you to do that for yourself, however it looks for yourself.Anyways, I think I just wrote a book on a book? Haha. I enjoyed this book and I feel inspired in a good way. Thank you Rachel, I will enjoy these words as I start to set my own goals for my podcast, my weight loss, and my step-parenting.  Read Less

Self-Help or motivational books normally aren't the type of book I pick up to read. When I'm reading, I want to escape to a fictional world. Girl, Stop Apologizing pushed me outside of my reading comfort zone and boy am I glad it did. This book was EVERYTHING I needed right now.I've been on a blogging and reading hiatus lately. There has just been so much going on in my personal life, I haven't been able to focus and dedicate the time. Rachel Hollis's words in Girl, Stop Apologizing motivated me to get back to the things I love. The things I do exclusively for me. To take the time for myself to do what makes me happy. I took a vacation. I stood up for myself. And I did so unapologetically, because I deserve time for myself to take care of me. I already knew that in my head, but seeing the words come from someone else made them sink in.  Read Less
