On this show we encourage and inspire you to live your most badass life – so it seems only fitting that on today’s show you’ll hear insight from Part 1 of the book, “You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living An Awesome Life" by Jen Sincero

I will be sharing insight from Part 1 of the book - How You Got This Way. 

You'll hear the following takeaways: 

  • How your subconscious made you do it - “It’s not your fault that you’re fucked up. It’s your fault if you stay fucked up, but the foundation of your fuckedupedness is something that’s been passed down through generations of your family” (20).
  • The G word - “Develop an awareness of, and a relationship with, the Source Energy that’s surrounding you and within you (which is all the same energy)” (30).
  • Present as a pigeon - Be more present in the moment - there’s no need to focus on the past, as it will cause you depression, or to the future, as it will cause you anxiety. Appreciate the here and now, just like animals and children do, and more opportunities will present themselves to you.
  • The big snooze - “The Big Snooze will do everything it can to stop you from changing and growing, especially since you’re attempting to obliterate the very identity that you and everyone else has come to know as “you.” (45-46).
  • Self-perception is a zoo - “We torture ourselves incessantly, and for what purpose? If we can glimpse the glory (and I know you can), why do we waste our precious time giving any energy to the other options? Wouldn’t life be so much more fun, productive, and sexy if we fully embraced our magnificently delightful selves?” (49).
