It’s Wednesday and that means we are talking about awesome women who inspired or in some way supported me in getting sober. Today the spotlight is hitting Jen Sincero. I read her book, You are a Badass at Making Money long before I gave up my barstool but, it set the stage for my departure. Yeah, on it’s face it looks like a book about financial gains and mastering a wealth mindset but at its core it is about realizing your own worth, transforming your reality and finding freedom. Which I feel is the basic recipe for getting and staying sober. I can relate to Jen. Her punk rock past. The years she spent kitting, catering and living in a garage. Her desire for more…and the fear/discomfort around what she had to do to get it. I recommend it to anyone going through any transition in life. I have gifted this book to so many of my friends. It is also available on audiobook and read by Jen herself. Making it easy to revisit. I dip back in about once a year. Each time I get something new out of it. Plus I like her voice and find her story telling comforting, if a bit goofy. But who doesn’t like goofy? So, I raise my cup of tea to Jen, wherever she is! Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for writing, putting yourself out there and inspiring me to do the same.
Day 214: Rice cake, leftover mashed sweet potatoes, avocado, pesto, soft boiled egg and some malibar spinach from my garden. I love leftovers and some days I love convenience. This is one of those days. I had all of this ready to roll in my fridge. Pre boiled eggs, pesto rah-rah-ready to go on everything and mashed potatoes from last night.
