Story
When it comes to the “hard seasons” of life—the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job—transformation seems impossible when grief and uncertainty dominate your days. Especially when, as Didn’t See that Coming reveals, no one asks to have their future completely rearranged for them. But, as Rachel Hollis writes, it is up to you how you come through your pain—you can come through changed for the better, having learned and grown, or stuck in place where your identity becomes rooted in what hurt you.

Publisher's Summary
Rachel Hollis points out the pitfalls, challenges, and excuses that stop us from achieving our aspirations.
Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: Women not living into their full potential. They feel a tugging on their hearts for something more, but they’re afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough.
In Girl, Stop Apologizing, #1 New York Times bestselling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people—whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee—instead of learning how to own who they are and what they want.
In this book, Hollis helps you to:
- identify the excuses to let go of,
- the behaviors to adopt,
- And the skills to acquire on the path to growth, confidence, and believing in yourself.
Hollis shares stories and principles with raw honesty that inspires her audiences to discover and take the practical steps that will put them on a lifelong path of personal growth.
Girl, Stop Apologizing is the life-changing guide you need to dump your excuses, embrace your dreams, set boundaries, and gain real confidence in life.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library on your web browser, along with the audio.
What the critics say
"Author-narrator Rachel Hollis pulls no punches with this manifesto in which she exhorts women to claim the lives that they've always wanted. She sounds direct, confident, and kind. Her warm, down-to-earth style makes this listening experience like having your best friend or a life coach as close as your pocket or earphones. In a friendly tone she lists the main reasons why women don't achieve their dreams or ambitions--such as living their lives in terms of other people--and encourages them to avoid such pitfalls. This is an inspirational title that fans will have on their playlist to listen to again and again."--Audiofile Magazine
"'Ever felt stuck? Ever struggled to make time for your dreams--or struggled even to admit those dreams to yourself? In Girl, Stop Apologizing, Rachel Hollis points out the pitfalls, challenges, and excuses that stop us from achieving our aims. She speaks with refreshing (and often hilarious) candor about her own experiences and mistakes, and offers concrete advice about how to create the lives we want."--Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project
'Rachel is the modern-day Oprah and female Tony Robbins! She provides a safe place for women to dream big and believe in themselves, while also giving the tough love all great moms give to their kids to take ownership of their life and providing the keys to succeed. Rachel is raw, real, and full of life. She combines emotion, humor, and straight-talk to make all of us believe and see how we can have the life we want if we've invested the time and learned how to get there. Get this book and stop apologizing!"--Lewis Howes, New York Times bestselling author and host of The School of Greatness
A fantastic, inspiring book. The right amount of in-your-face motivation I needed. My big take-away is to show up for myself every day and go shine!

Mixed feelings but I have to be honest
I will admit- this book was motivating. Rachel Hollis laid the book out well, and she was a great narrator for this audiobook. She had a lot of good ideas, some of them were common sense, but I did incorporate them into my life. I started drinking a LOT of water at work, climbing the stairs to the 11th floor of my building instead of taking the elevator, I started squeezing more into my schedule than I used to. I started evaluating my choices, habits and friends. I feel confident to make changes in my life. That is what a motivational book should do.
But where this book falls short, is how out of touch Rachel is with the common woman. She frequently references her lavish lifestyle and how much money she makes, yet tells us not to compare ourselves to her. I would say 40% of the book included tips on how to improve your life and mood, the other 60% was a brag-fest, and her "obstacles" are ant hills compared to the mountains some women have to climb. She says she got to where she is by working hard, but the fact is, she got where she is because she has a supportive partner who makes enough money and takes care of the kids to allow her to pursue her dreams.
I felt motivated many times throughout this book. Other times, long after I stopped listening to it, I would randomly get angry about how much she brags about her life, and what examples she references to make her points. Near the end, she mentioned diversity and including more viewpoints from women of colour, women of all sizes, gay, bi, etc. yet she didn't think to talk to anyone else about their REAL problems before writing a self-help book where the majority of examples don't apply to the majority of the audience. Flying first class, lavish vacations, boob jobs, eyelash extensions, a nanny.. I just couldn't relate. Also, as a scientist, and a women with no children, she rarely used any examples that would pertain to me. Not all of us want a huge social media following, and not many of us base our success on how much we weigh.
I just felt that this book missed the mark and excluded many great women also looking for motivation that aren't social media gurus or mothers. I will not read any more books from her.

Not what I expected
Maybe you had to read Girl, Wash Your Face to get excited about this book but I couldn’t finish it.! I listened for about an hour and couldn’t turned it off. I couldn’t connect at all with her message because it seemed really obvious to me and she repeated herself constantly. Also, it’s a book that tells you what to do instead of showing you through stories and examples, so I was bored. Also needed to speed up the narration as it was way too slow and enunciated, like she was reading to a toddler.

Not my favorite
This book was given to me by a friend in paperback and with the type of work and life I choose to live I read most of my books bouncing back and forth between audible and hard copy. I'm not a Rachel Hollis follower but I have a few friends who are. I do enjoy reading the occasional book from the "self help and parenting" category and I'm a huge fan of Brene Brown, Dr. Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson, Barbara Coloroso. I recognize that Rachel lays it out right at the beginning that she is a self made success story and she did it without a university degree. Cool. I can get behind anyone with a good idea regardless of their background of education. But her self proclamations and what I felt like were largely superficial goals of success just didn't align or jive me with at all. I didn't read her book "Girl, Wash your Face," which she references in this book, but I got the sense that "Girl, Stop Apologizing" was a revenge book. A book in which she gets to explain to perhaps all of her critics of her Insta-Fame, of "Girl, Wash your Face" or other critics in her life, just how she is not apologizing for her fame. The title does say it all, but it didn't feel helpful to me. It felt like a book just for her. It felt like her justification or revenge book. And perhaps if she drew from other women's experiences with no apologizing it would have felt more authentic, more useful, more helpful to me. More research for her readers whom she cares about would have had the impact on me that I was looking for. I couldn't quite get past her tone in Audible. She almost sounded snotty. I eventually stopped listening about 6.5 hours into it...I just couldn't finish. I'll stick with Brene Brown, backed by research, years of experience and the genuine desire to help.

Not for me...
Although I love the way she talked and make me feel like I'm her best friend, I honestly felt that she doesn't getting. Many people went through trauma and worked their butts off but not everyone is at where she is at and that's not because they didn't want it bad enough or work hard enough... as a good looking, well spoken white woman, I just don't think she gets that it's not that easy for everyone. I felt like she is shaming those who are not at her level. And the more I listen to her book the more I think she plagiarized... I'm sure I heard most of her quotes before... anyways. I'm not impressed and couldn't finish the book.

This book is just not well presented
She over pronounces words too much. It has the opposite effect of what she’s trying to accomplish.
She uses “you” a little too much. So much of what she says sounds like a comparison.
People waiting to be given the permission to do something might like her style.

Loved it!
This book is what I needed for where I am in my life. Her writing puts into words what I’m not able to at times so I found it very relatable. Listening to the audio version makes me feel like I have my own coach kicking my butt at home! Perhaps she isn’t the coach everyone is looking for, but her style and content speaks to me! Thank you for GWYF & GSA. Thank you for helping me help myself out of a postpartum rut and a rough season!

Rachel Hollis is my Spirit Animal
“Girl, Stop Apologizing” was my first Rachel Hollis book and it resonated with me in ways no other books or podcasts have ever done.
Each turn in the book came at exactly the right time in my life. The day after I confessed to my husband I had been looking up cosmetic surgeons for a boob job after giving birth to our second child, came the chapter which Rachel details the story of her own cosmetic surgery - or at least the hilarious events leading up to the moment of being put under.
Right down to loving your children, but knowing you’re not cut out to be a SAHM.
I usually don’t tend to write public reviews, I would rather personally recommend good books to my friends and acquaintances, but this book is deserving of all the highest praises I can sing.
Ms. Hollis has provided me with a new sense of drive and ambition towards my dreams and goals. I am driven with pure excitement to pursue my wildest dreams after listening to Rachel read this audiobook.
Thank you so much, Rachel!

Inspiring
It’s like hearing a motivational speech from myself. You know what you should do, but sometimes you just need someone to validate you. You need someone to give you that extra push. Her stories were great, her sincerity is real, she is who she is, and she wants you to be true to you. Don’t apologize for wanting more from yourself and your life.
Great stuff Rachel. You can bet I’ll be listening to this again.

Left me teary!
No other book would have given such a beautiful start to my audible journey. I love to read and feel the book in my hand but I could feel every word through her voice. I love so many parts of this book but, most of all, I love the idea that I am NOT alone in this. I think I might just listen to it again. Heaps of gratitude✨ ILY.
